Recommendation Form for Undergraduate Fellowship


Deadline: April 15, 2005

To the recommender:

The Emory Center on Myth and Ritual in American Life (the MARIAL Center), funded by the Sloan Foundation, focuses its research on the functions and significance of ritual, narrative, and myth in dual wage-earner middle class families in the American South. Each year the Center funds several undergraduate research projects, in support of outstanding Emory seniors working on their senior theses. Each Sloan/MARIAL undergraduate fellow is eligible for up to $1500.00 in Center funding, in support of research, travel, and production costs associated with the thesis. The undergraduate fellows -- who are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the Center during the 2005-06 academic year-- have the opportunity to develop close working relationships with the Center's faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate student affiliates.

We ask that you certify that your advisee or student is working on a senior thesis and that you give us your frank assessment of his or her capabilities. For more information on the Center's major research interests, please consult our web site: http://www.emory.edu/MARIAL/index.htm

Please print out a copy of this form and submit it to the Center's director, Dr. Bradd Shore, Department of Anthropology, Emory University. (404-727-4200)
