SHPRS students share their involvement in the Undergraduate Research Experience

The School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies places undergraduate students into research assistant opportunities when they apply to be part of the Undergraduate Research Experience (URE). 

Each semester, faculty members within the school offer research assistant positions to undergraduate students who want to learn more about research, want to gain experience in research, or who want to dive into a new topic. 

Yunn Ueng is a PhD candidate in the philosophy program at SHPRS. Her research interests include social and political philosophy, feminist philosophy and applied ethics. 

These interests are reflected in her dissertation, which focuses on the topic of microaggressions. Specifically, Ueng’s research addresses what a microaggression is, why committing one is morally problematic and how victims should respond to a microaggression.
