URAD’s Undergraduate Research Scholarship awarded to Savannah Phelps

August 7, 2024

Savannah Phelps, one of our talented undergrads in Art History, has been awarded the 2024 URAD’s Undergraduate Research Scholarship! Savannah is also pursuing Honors and will be working with Art History Professor, Ray Hernández-Durán, as her mentor.

“In my research over the course of this school year, I will be investigating the connection between a changing religious worldview and developments in 16th and 17th century Spanish religious art. Combining art historical analysis with a background in medieval and early modern religious studies, I hope to demonstrate specific instances where visual and religious expressions are one and the same.”

You can catch her presenting at The UNM annual Undergraduate Research Opportunity Conference (UROC), happening in person at the SUB on April 11, 2025.
