Greetings,
We are seeking two undergraduate research assistants for the remainder of the Spring 2014 semester.
The purpose of this research project is to document and assess current study abroad programs in the School of Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics (SLCL) with a focus on access, diversity, and equity among underrepresented minorities and among students who currently do not pursue a major in languages and literatures but who participate in SLCL study abroad as part of other programs of study.
During spring semester 2014 we will pursue a qualitative study that will include two components. The first component will survey, assess, analyze, and synthesize recent scholarship on international student mobility. This text and web based inquiry will be combined with interviews with faculty, instructors, administrators, and students who have been or will be involved with international mobility in SLCL during AY2013-14.
The undergraduate Research Assistant will be expected to assist with both phases of this project. This position includes a stipend of $15/hour, and will include about 10-15 hours of work per week. The student will be supervised by Dr. Anna Stenport and Dr. Nicole Lamers, and will work in collaboration with two graduate researchers on this project. Each student will also be required to register for 1 hour of independent study credit.
Please submit your application by noon on Wednesday, March 19th for consideration at: https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/2766119. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
