Philosophy Internships & Opportunities
Research Opportunities
Stonehill Undergraduate Research Experience
The Stonehill Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) is an opportunity for students who have completed their first year at Stonehill to perform significant, publishable, full-time research under the guidance of and in collaboration with an experienced faculty researcher.
Recent Examples
- Cassidy Ballard ’18, Zack Colclasure ’17 and Matt Moschella ’18 worked with Ed McGushin, associate professor of philosophy, on a project called "Power, Eros, and the Aesthetics of Existence."
- Zack Colclasure ’17 worked with Edward McGushin, associate professor of philosophy, on “The Politics of Desire.”
- Keara Lavallee ’16 worked with Edward McGushin, associate professor of Philosophy, on “Cinematic Mediations.”
The SURE program offers me a whole host of opportunities that are really going to be useful to set me apart when I go into the marketplace to look for a job or go into graduate school. It allows you to take what you’ve learned in the classroom and bring it to life.
