Undergraduate Researchers

The richness of the Naylor Workshop is wholly dependent upon the thoughtful, creative, and consequential work that attendees are undertaking. The entire workshop proceeds each year from this important intellectual work.

We hope you’ll take the time to read about the work of each attendee, and to consider the points of intersection that you might find between your work and theirs.

In order to facilitate dialogue and support, undergraduate researchers with possible alignment in topics and/or methods will spend part of their time with a group of other researchers/mentors. The groups, as well as the researchers' individual proposals, are listed here:
