Explore the Economics of Gender in Econ 438 With Professor Aisha Yusuf!

Posted on December 4, 2024 | Filed under General News

Why do women often earn less than men in the same fields? How do cultural norms about family and work shape economic decisions? Why might mothers in some regions breastfeed boys longer than girls, and what does that imply about their behavior? Why are women less likely to negotiate in the workplace, and how does this affect their careers?

In Gender and Economics (Econ 438), we unravel the fascinating ways gender impacts the workforce, family dynamics, and global economy. We examine how historical practices influence modern gender outcomes, and learn how to critically analyze policies aimed at closing the gender gap.

Register for ECON 438 in Spring 2025 to challenge your assumptions and deepen your understanding of Gender and Economics. Held T/Th from 11 to 12:15 pm.

Notice -2025 URSCA Summer Research Call for Proposals

Posted on December 3, 2024 | Filed under General News

The Office of URSCA announces a funding opportunity for students seeking to participate in the collaborative Student-Faculty Research (SFR) Program during Summer 2025. The SFR Program offers students and faculty the opportunity to work together on research, scholarship, or a creative project of mutual interest. This program is open to all continuing students (i.e., not May 2025 graduates) across all academic disciplines that are in good academic standing. Proposals submitted to the SFR Program Project must be conducted in collaboration with an Allegheny faculty member and the proposed summer project cannot be directly related to the student’s senior project (i.e., the work resulting from the summer research cannot count as the senior project itself). However, summer projects can serve as preparation for the senior project. Please visit this website to view the tentative start and end dates of this summer program.

Students interested in participating in the SFR Program should identify a potential summer faculty mentor and work with them to complete the SFR Program Proposal. A complete list of instructions, as well as guidance on when and where to submit the completed proposal, can be found in the SFR Program Proposal.

The logistics related to financial awards for summer programs is changing due to new federal regulations. As such, we do not yet know the financial details associated with this program. We will send an update during the Spring semester when these details have been finalized.

Students intending on in working with Allegheny faculty and Meadville community partners through our Community Impact Hub should not apply to this specific program – be on the lookout for an announcement for that funding opportunity in the Spring 2025 semester. Likewise, this program cannot support students interested in on-campus summer employment opportunities (e.g., Physical Plant) or summer internships.

Prof. Matthew Venesky, Director of the Office of URSCA, will be offering a workshop at the beginning of the Spring 2025 semester to provide an overview of the summer research programming on campus, tips on writing a competitive proposal, and the steps that you’ll need to take to complete the application for summer research.

Please email Prof. Venesky (mvenesky@allegheny.edu) with any questions.

The Director of Writing seeks applications from students interested in joining the writing consultant staff. Consultants work with their peers on specific assignments as well as general writing concerns and questions, and thereby develop hands-on teaching experience.

Required qualifications include an open mind, a willingness to learn, and an interest in helping others become more confident and effective writers. While not required, a solid academic record, strong interpersonal skills, and a sense of humor are advantageous.

Applicants must be able to commit to staffing at least one two-hour shift per week, meeting with a “matched” writer for at least one hour per week, and attending a weekly one-hour professional development meeting, held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 pm.

Some writing consultants also serve as grammar tutors. To apply, please complete the application form and submit a brief personal statement along with a writing sample to Professor Hart at ahart@allegheny.edu. The deadline for submitting applications is Monday, February 3, 2025.

In addition to answering questions about copyright, intellectual property, and availability, students will be required to attach their final, completed senior project in PDF format. There will also be a place to attach additional files such as audio, video, or image files.

First Readers will still receive emails asking them to approve the permission form. Once the Reader approves the form, the submission process is complete. Students will not need to log in to DSpace and submit their project. Additionally, they will not be receiving an email when the project has been approved and added to DSpace. Projects will be loaded to DSpace during the spring semester.
