Olivia Landgraff ’22
“This summer I will be conducting research with linguistics professor Carmen Fought. Carmen is a current professor at Pitzer, and alongside Karen Eisenhauer (PZ ’13), has been researching language and gender in Disney and Pixar films for multiple years, culminating in a soon to be published book on her research! This summer, I will be doing both qualitative and quantitative linguistic work to continue her research, and fill in some of the films she has not analyzed yet (like Frozen 2)! Pitzer offers multiple $3000 grants every summer for the purpose of student researchers to assist faculty, but even without this specific grant there are plenty of opportunities for funded research.”
