The
Center for Law and Religion recently launched its Student
Fellows Program. The inaugural Fellows are:
Andrew Hamilton ’13
Yosefa Heber ’13
Jordan Hummel ’13
Dan Strecker ’12
The one-year fellowship provides four students, selected on the
basis of academic record and a demonstrated interest in law and
religion, with analytic training and exposure to the growing field
of law and religion. Along with Professors
Mark L. Movsesian and
Marc O. DeGirolami, the Fellows are helping to develop the
Center’s new blog, CLR Forum, as
well as its
Facebook and Twitter sites. In
particular, the Fellows are helping to maintain CLR Forum’s Scholarship
Roundup, an online collection of new academic work in law and
religion, and are contributing short commentary on law and religion
issues in the news. The Fellows will also help with faculty
research projects and with events the Center has planned for the
2011-12 academic year.
“I’m delighted to welcome this first group of Fellows and look
forward to working with them to build our Center, which is now
entering its second year,” said Professor Movsesian, the Center’s
Director. “It is an honor to serve as an inaugural fellow at the
Center,” said Hummel. “By working with Professors DeGirolami and
Movsesian and collaborating with the other fellows, I’m learning
first-hand about the role the law plays in everyday life and the
importance of contemporary law and religion issues.” Adds Heber: “I
am really enjoying my work with the Center. I’m free to research
and write on many different law and religion topics, and am able to
explore these subjects in depth. This is a rare opportunity for a
second-year law student and I am grateful for it.”
