The Undergraduate Research Center is one of the distinctive programs at 海角社区.
This exciting program provides funding for students to engage in full time, paid research on an original project in the summer. During summer 2025, the following students will work with Religious Studies faculty:
- Eli Lundberg '26 - "Syncretism and the Brazilian religion Candombl茅" (Advisor: Professor Amoruso)
- Ocean Pogorel '26 - "Healing in Brazilian Mediumship Religions" (Advisor: Professor Amoruso)
Students presented their research findings at the Summer Research Conference (and sometimes also at the Southern California Undergraduate Research conference, the regional American Academy of Religion conference, or a specialized professional conference). Their research sometimes also formed the foundation for their Senior Comprehensive projects.
