The ILR Undergraduate Research Fellows Program provides ILR undergraduates with the opportunity to work with a professor during academic year 2024-2025. This program was developed in response to numerous requests we have received from undergraduates for research opportunities and in the hope that it will facilitate one-on-one student/faculty interactions. Students participating in this program will receive an hourly pay of $17 per hour for up to 10 hours a week. Awards will be made on a one semester basis with renewal possible for the second semester.  Students may not earn credit for the research project during the semester or year they are being paid as a research assistant. 

Inequality in Creative Industries
This ongoing research project examines barriers faced by racial/ethnic minorities and women across different creative industries. For instance, this project explores how creative achievement is assessed, particularly in industries with a historical lack of diversity in top creative roles and how gatekeeping processes (i.e., awards recognition) reflect continued inequities in who is ultimately recognized as part of the “creative elite”. The Undergraduate Research Fellow will provide research assistance on data collection, data coding (no programming knowledge required), internet research, and literature review. The Fellows for this project will be co-sponsored by ILR WIDE.– with Professor Devon Proudfoot
