  University of California, Berkeley

  Apr 2015 - Aug 2015

  Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow

  Awarded a stipend through UC Berkeley's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program (SURF) based on a detailed research proposal. I conducted research in Budapest, Hungary and at the Ibiza Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as at Pennsylvania's Reading Public Museum and the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas, Austin. My research culminated in a senior honors thesis, "Faking It: Authorship, Gender, and Capital in the (Wellesian) Documentary Form," on Orson Welles' quasi-documentary "F for Fake." I was asked to open the SURF conference with a presentation of my findings, as well as give an interview about my research experience; the latter was used to craft a donation campaign letter that raised over $45,000 for UC Berkeley's College of Letters & Science Leadership Fund.https://research.berkeley.edu/surf-fellows/scarlet-cummings/ Show less
