Dr. Amy Vetter, a professor in the UNC Greensboro Department of Teacher Education and Higher Education, has been awarded a summer fellowship from North Carolina Humanities. 

The fellowship will allow Vetter to work on the research project The Writing Lives of Teens. Vetter will be able to use the summer months to finalize a systematic literature review around research which is focused on student perspectives of their writing experiences both in and out of school. She will analyze interview and survey data from teens and teachers before writing a book proposal. 

North Carolina Humanities has been a leading humanities funder in North Carolina since its founding in 1972. NC Humanities creates, facilitates and funds public humanities programs that help North Carolinians make sense of themselves, their neighbors, and their communities by considering new perspectives and thinking critically about the past, the present, and the future. North Carolina Humanities is the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. 

The summer fellowship program provides individual humanities researchers with access to funding opportunities in North Carolina’s higher education sector. Fellowships are designed to allow recipients the opportunity to step away from their busy workloads and complete or further research.
