Undergraduate Research and Discovery

At Bucknell, students have the opportunity to delve into a variety of independent and course-related Africana research.

  • Multicultural Female Playwrights


    "This idea came out of a very simple concept: diversifying the arts. I took two courses with Professor Meenakshi Ponnuswami, and I fell in love with the idea of having female role models within the theatre.

    ...

    The goal of this project is to provide all theatre admirers, dramatic literature fanatics, aspiring directors or actresses, and future English or theatre majors at this institution with some reading material that may not be comforting but will change their lives."

    -- Yulissa Hidalgo '12 (double major in Theatre and Women and Gender Studies with a minor in creative writing)

  • Black History at Bucknell


    "Black History at Bucknell" is a collection of research gathered by Bucknell student, Marissa Calhoun '10 as part of her independent study course work during the spring of 2009.

    Much of the materials featured on this site were uncovered in the University archives and were also derived from the testimonies of Bucknell students, staff, and alumni.
