Seniors in the Humanities Scholars Program (HSP) in the College of Arts & Sciences will showcase their research at an all-day conference May 1 at the A.D. White House.

Their work, developed over multiple semesters of sustained, interdisciplinary inquiry, spans across humanities fields and also highlights intersections with science, technology, business, law and other disciplines. HSP is open to students from across the university who are majoring or minoring in a humanities discipline. It offers curated courses, structured mentorship, special programming, research opportunities and funding.
Presenting at HSP's Spring Research Conference is the final requirement for seniors in the program. The conference will also feature presentations from seniors not in HSP, creating an opportunity for undergraduates in Cornell's broader humanities community to get practice presenting in an academic conference setting.
"The Spring Conference is my favorite event of the year in the HSP," said Verity Platt, professor of classics and HSP director. "It is immensely rewarding to see our scholars' hard work come to fruition, both in the intellectual depth of each student's individual project, and in the many confluences of ideas and approaches that emerge through their shared commitment to understanding how diverse stories, practices, and questions have shaped human culture and society."
