The student apprentice will assist in editing and coloring a graphic (comics) history of the English language. To color comics for publication requires a process known as “flatting,” which involves tracing by hand linework in order to create separate layers for final coloring. The apprentice will assist with this preliminary work, as well as provide help with editing, lettering correction, and reader feedback on the draft manuscript. The apprentice will gain knowledge and experience in the highly interdisciplinary process of preparing and publishing a graphic book.

The student research apprentice will help transcribe about 45 hours of interviews with parents and students on their experiences with special education and the access of students with disabilities to learning in mainstream classrooms alongside their nondisabled peers. The apprentice would also help me identify promising venues to advertise my research project to recruit diverse interviewees from across the country. The apprentice will gain a unique perspective on how parents struggle to get their children the education they deserve and a deeper understanding of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA). I am looking for a student with a minor in Disability Studies. Experience with audio transcription via Zoom and the Notes feature on an iPhone is helpful, but not required.

This project involves editing, researching, and writing content for a public-facing online map of Miami’s public sculpture collection. The Research Apprentice will meet regularly with the faculty member to assess the current didactic materials available to the public, analyze any changes to state of public art on campus since their publication, edit and update existing content, and research and draft new content pertaining to major works of public sculpture at Miami. The Research Apprentice can be from any major but should have excellent writing skills, familiarity with archival research, and an interest in public art and/or Miami history.

Enjoy scrolling TikTok? Why not get some research experience while doing it? I’m looking for a social media savvy research apprentice to help with a project examining the American Muslim experience in TikTok and Instagram. A research apprentice will be tasked with helping identify American Muslim TikTok and Instagram accounts, collecting content from these accounts, and assisting in the creation of the literature review for the project. Students interested in serving as a research apprentice should have experience with social media. An interest in religion or marginalized communities would be welcome, but is not necessary.

I seek an undergraduate Research Apprentice to assist with my current book project, Outcast: Casting Practices in Transnational Theatre. “Outcast” actors were perceived as ethnic and racial outsiders in real life, but they also had a role in “casting out” nefarious casting practices in productions from The Emperor Jones (1920) to Hamilton (2015).

The ideal candidate will have an interest in performance, theatre, or literary studies, transnational history, and enjoy finding answers to unknown information. S/he needs to be able to conduct research (including archival research), write clearly and compellingly, have a keen editorial eye, and be organized and self-driven.

A research apprentice is sought to help a faculty member with the last stages of her research on a book project entitled Shapes of Exile: Ovid in Russian Literary Imagination. An undergraduate fellow will help with the following tasks: 1) organization of already assembled research (both primary and secondary); 2) help organize a vast bibliography for the chapters of this monograph which are complete; 3) prepare the annotated bibliography of the new secondary sources (will be asked to find some); 4) proofread the completed chapters for the book.

Some knowledge of Russian and/or French is desirable but not necessary. An advanced undergraduate will benefit from this apprenticeship by learning how to conduct in-depth scholarly research both online and in the library.

I am seeking 1-2 research apprentices to help me test if machine learning can be used to reveal the author of this anonymous work of Latin literature. No Latin needed but I do need a student (or two) who knows more than the basics of machine learning who can set up the program and run the models. This will include vectorization, training a model, and comparing models of two or more texts.
