Spring Research Conference Preview: Humanities scholars tackle research across disciplines
Click the link in @cornellhsp ’s bio to read the preview of this year’s conference, featuring the research of HSP students Alianna Wray, Anya Shukla and Jeffrey Ho, all class of 2026. The full conference schedule can also be found in our bio.
From Wray’s work on anti-Black misogyny within U.S. institutions and the law, to Shukla’s presentation, entitled “Engineering Utopia: Startups, Women’s Health, and the Promise of Artificial Intelligence”, to Ho’s research on community reactions to public health crises, which combines his long-standing focus on biology with his interests in history, creative writing, public health and human development, the presentations at this year’s annual Humanities Scholars Program Spring Research Conference will span the disciplines and bring together seniors from across the university to share their research in the humanities.
“The Spring Conference is my favorite event of the year in the HSP,” said Verity Platt, professor of classics and HSP director. “It is immensely rewarding to see our scholars’ hard work come to fruition, both in the intellectual depth of each student’s individual project, and in the many confluences of ideas and approaches that emerge through their shared commitment to understanding how diverse stories, practices, and questions have shaped human culture and society.”

💫🌎 Figuring it out as you go is part of the journey, as Ajrun Tafannum ’27 discovered while exploring different classes in Arts & Sciences.
“Navigating this realization felt earth-shattering, especially as I was in the spring semester of my sophomore year. I felt as though my time was running out and that it wouldn’t be feasible for me to pivot to a whole new major. However, with the extensive help of the Arts & Sciences advising team and the incredible environment & sustainability department @es_cornell , I was able to switch my intended major right before I was meant to declare one.” — Ajrun Tafannum ’27

From solar eclipses ☀️🌑 to early galaxy images 🌌, these forgotten pieces of astronomy history are getting their moment to shine again.
A new exhibit in the downstairs of the @fuertesobservatory allows visitors to view 800 glass lantern slides uncovered and catalogued by the Cornell Astronomical Society.
Every Friday, from 8 p.m. to midnight, students open the observatory to the public. When the skies are clear, people can take a look through the observatory’s telescopes, including the historic 12” Irving Porter Church Refractor. Students also offer tours of the historic building, the telescopes, the museum and this new basement exhibit, regardless of the weather.

🎻 If you’re a musician, Cornell is your place.
From orchestras to jazz combos, early music to marching band, Cornell’s music community is as diverse as it is welcoming. It’s one of the few spaces on campus where undergrads, grad students, and even professors come together to make music.
For Alexandra Hui ’29, a lifelong violinist, that meant finding her first home in the Cornell Chamber Orchestra—where rehearsals quickly turned into friendships, mentorship, and West Campus dinners that felt like instant community. Now playing with the Cornell Symphony Orchestra, her experience spans everything from pre-concert buzz in Bailey Hall to weekends at the Ithaca Farmer’s Market with her orchestra “fam.” 🎶
“Try the audition. Attend the class,” Hui says. “You never know what it might bring you (but I can guarantee you, it’ll be something good).”
