2015 Graduate Student Fellows
The Tobin Project awards fellowships annually to graduate students across disciplines and institutions whose research addresses real-world problems linked to Tobin's research areas. In monthly forums throughout the academic year, the students present and discuss their work with one another for uniquely interdisciplinary feedback. Below are the 2015 fellows.
