Join us to hear the presentations of the 2024 Tisch Library Graduate Research Fellows in the Arts and Humanities, whose thesis and dissertation research projects make creative use of collections, services, and expertise at Tufts libraries. Our 2024 fellows are:

Anahit Gasparyan, MA candidate in Art History. Anahit's research examines the connections between the medieval Etchmiadzin Gospel, the Church of Bgheno-Noravankʻ, located in the Syunikʻ province of Armenia, and the larger countryside of the region.

Sam Norcross, PhD candidate in English Literature. Sam's research draws upon poststructuralist and psychoanalytic theories of language to examine the biological discourses of speciation and the genetic code, exploring how literature deconstructs the scientific codification of our universe and how the language of science shapes our perception of the natural world

Willaim Roush, MA candidate in Philosophy. William is preparing a new, open access digital edition of Sextus Empiricus's Outlines of Pyrrhonism. This new digital edition will provide researchers with a much-needed machine actionable bases for researching an important but neglected text in the history of philosophy.

Wenxuan Xue, PhD candidate in Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies. Wenxuan’s research highlights how Asian North American artists mythologize and fabulate their diasporic lineage, ancestral spirits, and place-based relations through contemporary performance, ritual, and storytelling practices.

The fellows will make brief presentations of about 15 minutes each followed by questions from the audience. This award is jointly sponsored by Tisch Library and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
