Staff Speak: What I Did on My Summer Vacation
“This summer I was fortunate enough to get a grant from the American Philosophical Society, so I want to give a shout-out to the Grants office here on campus for helping me apply to that. I was able spend a month in London, working in the archives for my book, which is called “Parliament in the European Political Imagination: 1550-1600.” I was looking at proposals for ways of experimenting with the form and structure of representative assemblies of the early modern era.” – Catherine Chou, Assistant Professor of History

Summer adventures aren’t just for students! Writer Jon Gomez ’21 and photographer Gaby Aponte ’21 asked faculty and staff what they did over summer break and got a wide variety of answers.
“This summer I took two short trips with my family to Pittsburgh and Minneapolis. I worked on research and prepared some classes, but mainly spent time with my kids and wife.”
