Congratulations to winners of the UHP SURE Award for this semester! Students who win the Sigelman Undergraduate Research Enhancement Award use the funds to further their own research.
Yaron Ginsburg will use the UHP SURE Award to purchase written works related to Zionist thought and the Philosophy of Nietzsche. Yaron intends to explore the influence of Nietzsche’s philosophy of power, authenticity, and morality on early Zionist thinkers and the Zionist endeavor.
Bejnamin Helfand will travel to Tunisia with the help of the UHP SURE Award, using the the recently ratified Tunisian Constitution as a case study to explore how international human rights instruments can be used to effectively protect and promote human rights.
Paul Scotti will be attending the Vision Sciences Society Conference in May using the UHP SURE Award. His winnings will also be used to reimburse participants in his research to investigate the degree to which object-based attentional guidance depends on the strength of object representation.
Congratulations to our winners. We’ll be following up with them later in the year to check in on their research! If you are pursuing independent research and would be interested in applying for funding, watch out for the Spring SURE Award announcements in the Newsflash.
