(Research Fellowship, Fall 2021 only)

Dana Raphael is a senior double-majoring in French and Francophone Studies and Neuroscience, with a minor in Chemistry. Her research as part of the Wolf Humanities Center Fellowship focuses on the migration and translation of memories in Holocaust-era France. As a great-granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, she is interested in investigating how memories were retained during the war, the various ways by which they influenced survivors’ post-war lives, and the transmission of those memories to future generations. Apart from her interest in humanities research which will complement her honors thesis in the French department, Dana also conducts biomedical research in a neuroscience laboratory at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Dana is also a University Scholar, serves as a CURF Research Peer Advisor, and volunteers with the Francophone Community Partnership. In her free time, Dana enjoys baking, learning about different world cultures, and admiring art.
