Six undergraduate honors students from the Emory History Department are among the 2024-25 cohort of Undergraduate Humanities Honors Fellows at the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry. These fellowships support up to 12 students completing honors projects in a Humanities or Humanistic Social Science field. The goal of these Fellowships is to support undergraduates as they complete their theses, introduce them to the life of the Humanities, and provide a venue for interdisciplinary interchange, mentorship, and conference-style presentation.
