Description

This is the fifteenth journal for the McNair Scholars Program at St. Mary's University.

"

Research is the process to discover new knowledge and, arguably, the major endeavor associated with earning a doctoral degree. While undergraduates are busy acquiring a foundation in their specific disciplines, all are in some measure focusing on the history of those areas- studying what is already known. Summer research is an opportunity for McNair Scholars to engage in the work that will comprise a majority of their doctoral experience- exploring new topics, collecting data, and building their disciplines. One might say that after many years of living in a house, now these scholars are building a house. This is an exciting experience for scholars and thrilling for their mentors and the McNair program staff to observe. This year’s journal includes offerings from scholars of different majors utilizing a variety of methodologies and exploring various unique topics. What these projects all share is the building- pushing the boundaries of what is known and opening new vistas to inquiry. We are excited to welcome you along on this journey." Jennifer Zwahr-Castro PhD - Director & Joshua A. Dunn PhD - Assistant Director
