Interdisciplinary Big Ideas

We’re brainstorming to solve global challenges across disciplines in bold and creative ways. This is an every-other-week meeting where we talk about ideas (many in ecology and evolution, but that’s often just a starting point). The meeting is meant to be a positive space in which to talk about wild ideas and new projects.

Cluster Conversations

In these conversations, members of one of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program clusters join Senior Vice Provost for University Interdisciplinary Programs Rob Dunn for an informal conversation about exciting work being done within their cluster — currently, and with an eye to the future.

Hopeful Futures

We can only plan for the future we want if we imagine that future in the first place. The Hopeful Futures series is part of the Long View Project, exploring plausible, positive futures through conversations that engage and inspire participants and audiences to create the futures they want.
