2021 Dissertation Proposal Development Program Participants
We are pleased to announce the 2021 participants of the Dissertation Proposal Development (DPD) Program.
In 2016, Northwestern received a grant from the SSRC to bring together humanities and social science scholars in pre-doctoral research summer institutes. This year, Mary Weismantel (Department of Anthropology), will guide 6 humanities and social science second- and third-year PhD students in designing effective research questions, methodologies, contexts, and interventions. These students will participate in interdisciplinary, faculty-led workshops in June and September 2021.
A complete list of the 2021 participants is included below. Please join us in congratulating them on this opportunity.
Best wishes,
Stephanie Brehm, PhD
