We are very excited to announce the 2023–24 UCHI/CLAS Undergraduate Humanities Research Fellows. Building on the remarkable success of the fellowship program's inaugural year, next year's cohort will consist of four fellows (increased from this year's two). These exceptional young scholars were chosen from a very impressive pool of applicants, and their projects cover a wide range of topics and disciplines—from activists to extremists, from philosophy to history. Please join us in congratulating our 2023–24 Humanities Research Fellows!
