At Wake Forest University, we are dedicated to creating research opportunities that enrich the lives of students and their communities.
Having grown up navigating the complexities of mixed-race identity, Emma Sullivan developed a passion for creating welcoming communities and a sense of belonging.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Charlie Huebner attended public schools with fellow students from widely different backgrounds, which instilled in him a passion for showing that diversity need not divide us but can instead unite us.
At Wake Forest, Emma and Charlie both found an avenue to pursue their passions in the Principled Pluralism Fellowship, which is sponsored by @leadershipandcharacter and led by Dr. Bradley Burroughs, the Director of Leadership and Character in Academic, Civic, and Religious Life.
In a time marked by deepening social and political divisions, Dr. Burroughs and fellows like Emma and Charlie spend eight weeks each summer intensively researching the forces that divide us. But they seek not only to research principled pluralism but also to practice it by cultivating the skills and virtues – such as humility, empathy and courage – that can empower us to appreciate our differences while creating an inclusive community where everyone can feel like they belong.
