A NEW IAS INITIATIVE to help incubate greater collaborative exchange and research vitality on campus and beyond. 

These cross-disciplinary events will bring together a 'team' of local scholars and researchers with a group of external thinkers in a 2 to 3 day working group on a timely topic of mutual concern. 

Participants will collaborate on a common bibliography; share relevant examples, evidence, or artifacts from their own research; and engage in common conversation about the diversity and range of disciplinary perpsectives, and the methological, conceptual and interpretative issues that emerge. Research outputs will vary depending on the resulting collaborations. 

Faculty are welcome to contact the Institute at ias@indiana.edu with questions or suggested topics.
