Honor Scholar Program at DePauw University

The Honor Scholar Program seeks to enhance the quality of the DePauw community's experience by foste

The program incorporates the quintessential values of the liberal arts education: a community of scholars who come together to read important and challenging classic and contemporary works which range broadly in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences; who are interested in sharing their thinking with colleagues in a small seminar setting in interdisciplinary contexts; and who engage in intensive writing which culminates in the preparation and defense of a senior thesis in their fields of specialization.

Miyu writes: “As an economics and physics double major, I often find myself questioning economics – at times, economics feels like the field does math for the sake of doing math. My research explores the limitations of mathematics in economics, arguing that while mathematics is a useful language, it obscures the philosophical foundations of what economics should fundamentally be about.” 🦉📚

Hailey writes: “My research is focused on finding practical legal aid solutions for Putnam County based on data collected from the intake forms of the local legal aid clinic and a comparison of the policies implemented by similar, rural counties.” 📚🦉

Ethan writes: “My project studies the legacy of Gamal Nasser, the former president of Egypt, in the modern Arab world. I intend to analyze the constitutive rhetoric and charismatic authority used by Nasser to legitimize not just his rule in Egypt, but also his decision to make himself the leader of the Pan-Arab movement. The death of Nasser, along with his charismatic authority, will be explored to understand the current political state of Modern Egypt, and the legacy of his Pan-Arab movement in the modern Arab world will also be discussed.” 🦉📚

02/19/2026

Alden writes: “Here is my quick elevator pitch: My thesis explores the intersection of the personal, professional, and political through the life and legacy of my great-grandfather, Sherwood Fiske Brown (1902-1968). A first-generation college student who became a beloved professor of Physics, Brown emerges as a fascinating lens through whom to explore the shift in American higher education during the Cold War era. Through his time at Colby College, MIT, and Lowell Technological Institute, I examine how the role of professors, and the relationship between academia, research, and federal funding, have changed from his generation to mine.” 🦉📚

Izzy writes: “My thesis uses AppleTV’s show Severance in order to explore the economic phenomenon of “bullsh*t jobs,” as defined by David Graeber. While TV show’s such as The Office allowed us to laugh about the workplace and our jobs, Severance exists in a newer genre with a different tone. These differences, in some ways, benefit the critique, but they also come with their own implications in how we think about the work we do, workplace incentives, and the office environment.” 📚🦉

Jim writes: “I am currently comparing the Italian and American healthcare systems through the lens of total knee replacement surgeries to reveal how each system’s structure reflects its cultural values. Through analyzing differences in access, cost, outcomes, and patient satisfaction, I identify strengths and potential improvements for both models in order to propose positive legislative changes for both.” 🦉📚

Cole writes: “My thesis will be a rhetorical analysis of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories: I’m specifically concerned with understanding the means through which anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists attempt to persuade others that vaccines are a ploy by a group of invisible actors meant to enforce control over the public or undermine public health.” 📚🦉

01/22/2026

Kimario writes: “My research explores how social media and technology influence students’ motivation, emotional well-being, and sense of identity. These platforms are designed to capture attention and activate the brain’s reward systems, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and constant self-comparison.” 🦉📚

01/15/2026

Ava writes: “My thesis project examines how the United States has failed to properly enforce the Animal Welfare Act, leading many dogs in puppy mills to live in inhumane conditions. I analyze sources like the Horrible Hundred reports, USDA fiscal year summaries, and inspection records to identify repeated violations and patterns of neglect within licensed breeding facilities across the country. I also compare states like Missouri and Nebraska to show how differences in enforcement and state laws impact animal welfare. Overall, my project argues that stronger and more consistent federal regulations are needed in order to protect dogs in these breeding facilities.”
