This award provides funds for an REU Site in Sociology at the University of Notre Dame. The program will support 24 students over the course of three years. The substantive focus of the Site will be centered on protest and activism with an emphasis on urban rioting and violent protest in the U.S. during the 1960s. The data driving the research are the contents of a recently re-discovered archive of data on riots, race relations, and civil rights activism in the 1960s. Very little of these data have ever been analyzed or even systematically compiled and summarized; therefore students will have the opportunity to make substantial contributions to the recently resurgent sociological literature about racial rioting and collective violence. The year-lengh program will allow sustained engagement with the research project and thereby a rich research experience. Students will begin by engaging in foundational activities such as reviewing literature and learning about how to process and interpret the specific kinds of data available to them for the project. Following this, students will develop their own research topics, write formal proposals, and compile the data necessary to complete their projects. The second half of the experience will focus on the execution of their research plans and writing of formal research reports. The Site will culminate with a mini-conference in which the students will present their work. Students will also be encouraged to submit their reports to social science conferences and to revise toward publication.This award contributes to the Foundation's continuing efforts to attract talented students into careers in science through active undergraduate research experiences.

该奖项为巴黎圣母大学的社会学REU站点提供资金。该计划将在三年内为24名学生提供支持。该网站的实质焦点将集中在抗议和激进主义上，重点是20世纪60年代美国的城市骚乱和暴力抗议。推动这项研究的数据是最近重新发现的关于20世纪60年代的骚乱、种族关系和民权运动的数据档案的内容。这些数据很少被分析，甚至是系统地汇编和总结；因此，学生们将有机会为最近复兴的关于种族骚乱和集体暴力的社会学文献做出实质性贡献。为期一年的计划将允许持续参与研究项目，从而获得丰富的研究经验。学生将从参与基础活动开始，例如复习文献和学习如何处理和解释项目中可用的特定类型的数据。在此之后，学生将发展他们自己的研究主题，撰写正式的提案，并汇编完成他们的项目所需的数据。后半部分的经验将集中在执行他们的研究计划和撰写正式的研究报告。该网站将在一个小型会议上达到高潮，学生们将在会上展示他们的作品。该奖项还将鼓励学生向社会科学会议提交报告，并对报告进行修改。该奖项有助于基金会继续努力，通过积极的本科生研究经验，吸引有才华的学生进入科学职业生涯。
