Students interested in pursuing research may contact a participating faculty member to inquire about this option and if available should submit an electronic Honors Credit Learning Agreement (eHCLA). The eHCLA is an agreement between the James Scholar student and the cooperating faculty member that outlines the expectations for the James Scholar project. The list below provides a short summary of faculty members' research interests. You can click on their name for more information about their research, publications, and contact information.
When contacting a faculty member, remember that they are not obligated to allow you to collaborate on their project and/or they may not have availability within a given semester. Below is an example of an e-mail you might send if you want to participate in a faculty members research:

I am available (dates), by e-mail and/or meeting virtually. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to further conversation regarding your research!
