RE Log - Spring 2024

Student News Celebrating Summer Research Bowden fellows share their projects during gallery night Ransom Everglades’ seventh class of Dan Leslie Bowden Fellows in the Humanities shared their summer research projects during the Bowden Fellows Gallery Night on Dec. 4, presenting summaries of their work at the Lewis Family Auditorium before heading to the Solomon Art Gallery for more interactive and in-depth presentations. The celebratory evening represented the culmination of educational journeys that began last summer, when the fellows – Christine Keedy Brown ’24, Emma Dvorkin ’24, Daniela Gardiner ’24, Trinity Haisch ’24, Camille Lugo ’24, Skye McPhillips ’24, Elisa Sotero ’24, Julia Torto ’24, Jude Yeo ’24 and Mike Zoi ’24 – used the support from their Dan Leslie Bowden Fellowships to explore various topics. This year’s Bowden fellows undertook projects that required travel to South Africa, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and various cities in the United States. They conducted interviews, engaged in field research and sought out primary sources. They compiled their work in video format, research papers, blogs and web pages and presented much of that work through the exhibition in the Solomon Art Gallery. Associate Head of School John A. King Jr., the director of the fellowship program, introduced the fellows at the opening of the evening and thanked Jeffrey Miller ’79 for the founding grant that created the Dan Leslie Bowden Endowment in the Humanities in 2016. Miller, a former student of the legendary educator who is the award’s namesake, attended the event with his wife Tina, and Bowden’s great nephew Thomas Bowden. 38 Ransom Everglades LOG SPRING 2024 John A.
