Congratulations!!
Senior Lesa Marks was selected as a 2008 McNair Fellow for the McNair Scholars Program Summer Research Institute at UMBC. Lesa is pursuing a double major in Gender & Women’s Studies and Political Science. Under the guidance of Christel Temple, Associate Professor in Africana Studies and affiliate faculty in Gender & Women’s Studies, Lesa completed a research project, prepared a paper ("The Evolution of Blackface Minstrelsy: Race and Gender in /Flavor of Love/ and /I Love New York/"), and presented her findings at a recent scholarly conference.
McNair fellows receive stipends and attend workshops and seminars geared toward graduate school success which better prepare them for the demands of a Ph.D. program. For more about the McNair Scholars Program, and their Summer Research Institute Fellows program, see http://www.umbc.edu/mcnair
