Research
Our research approach is purposefully interdisciplinary. In particular, we build on them to preserve the power of the qualities of disciplines while integrating the strengths each offer. The ideas we pursue, the issues we consider, and the approaches we use will change over time. Specific projects and activities will change accordingly. In all our efforts, our goal is to create new ways of generating important knowledge by building and deepening new seams at the intersections across disciplines.
