Congratulations

We are delighted to announce our 2021-2022 Merlin Student Scholar Fellow, Julianna Breit. Julianna is our first undergraduate fellow.  A junior at Carroll College, Julianna is double-majoring in Biochemistry and Philosophy with minors in Ethics and Value Studies, Neuroscience, and Chemistry.

Valuing inquisition, creativity, integration, restoration and understanding, Julianna strives to unite philosophy and neuroscience.  Her current research interests include Phenomenology of Emotion, Trauma, and Empathy.  She is interested in pursuing a holistic perspective of body and mind that will help to inform her understanding of the human experience and her work in the field. 

Julianna's fellowship will involve a combination of research, writing and philosophy in the community activities focusing on the neuroscientific and philosophical implications of sadness and grief.  You may recognize her smiling face from one of her current and past community endeavors, including volunteering with St. Peter’s Health, the Friendship Center, Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, FoodShare, and NODA.

ABOUT OUR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Our Merlin Community Scholar and Student Scholar Fellowship program provides community members and students a chance to work with thinkers in diverse fields of study and apply philosophy to their chosen area of interest.  The program is ideal for people who value critical, creative thinking, have a knack for (or would like to develop a knack for) communicating complex and nuanced ideas in non-technical terms, believe in the importance of sharing ideas and broadening perspectives, and have a strong compassion for humanity and the environment.  Learn more here!
