Humanities and research for all
Krieger students share their humanities research with local community college students to build connections, inspire future humanities researchers By Jacob deNobel / Published April 13, 2021
When PhD candidate Tara Tran first started her undergraduate experience, she was sure she wanted to follow a pre-med path, certain that she wanted to become a medical doctor. But while in college, she found that science classes, which she breezed through in high school, weren t igniting her passions. It was a required history class that truly excited her. I had gone through some medical issues in high school and thought that would give me a good perspective of dealing with patients. Doctor was always the plan. Tran said. The thought had never even occurred to me that there were people who considered the humanities an actual profession.
