Community Learning Research Fellows

In Community Learning Research Fellows (CLRF), Trinity students collaborate with a Hartford-area community partner and a faculty sponsor on a research or creative project that benefits the partner’s organization. Accepted students enroll in a weekly seminar (for 0.5 credits) and an independent study/course/internship/thesis with a faculty sponsor (for 0.5 or more credits).

Public Humanities Collaborative

The Public Humanities Collaborative (PHC) is a summer research opportunity that brings together students, faculty, and individuals and organizations in Hartford to work on public humanities: the study of how people interpret stories of our human experience. Each PHC team includes Hartford-area humanities partner (such as a museum, library, cultural institution, or related organization), one or more Trinity faculty fellows, and two to four Trinity student researchers.
