Special Note: The Turner Faculty Lecture Series, sponsored by the John Mills Turner Endowment for the Humanities, features innovative research and writing by LC faculty members. Please click here to see the schedule for 2007-2008.
One method for students to experience rigorous educational experiences is through research. Student research can occur at any time during a student's education, from the freshman year all the way through graduate school. The benefits of participating in a research project include a deeper understanding of a particular discipline, satisfying interactions with faculty mentors outside the classroom, and a greater academic challenge. Many LC faculty choose to collaborate with students on research in their topics of interest, and many courses at LC require student research as part of their curriculum. Below is a partial list of faculty who are actively engaged with students through their research projects. Click on each name to see a short description of the project.
