Eleanor Oser

Eleanor Oser is a rising second-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy. Her research focus lies in the intersection of ancient epistemology, ethics, and social philosophy. She graduated from College of the Holy Cross in 2020 with a B.A. in Philosophy and Classics and, before arriving at BU, spent two years living and working as an Americorps volunteer in southwest Alaska.

In Summer 2023, Eleanor was named a 2023 Summer Graduate Intern in the Social Sciences. A collaborative program between the Center for Innovation in Social Science (CISS), the Office of the Associate Provost for Graduate Affairs, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GRS) the  program provides stipend-supported summer internships aimed at introducing Ph.D. students in Social Sciences fields and related disciplines to career opportunities at institutions beyond academia. This summer, Eleanor will be working in the Office of the Provost as a Data Analytics. She will be extracting and formatting data for analytical processing, developing data visualizations, and creating methods of analysis to better support decision-making processes across campus. She is hopeful that her intern experience as a graduate student in the Department of Philosophy, which has honed my ability to creatively review, analyze, and synthesize large swaths of data and information, will contribute positively to my work in this role.
