Affiliated Faculty and Staff Initiative
As the work of the Kirwan Institute moves forward, we are interested in developing and building the organizational capacity of the Institute and enhancing both the reach and the depth of our scholarship and research. To do this we will maintain and build on existing relationships, but we also want to develop new relationships both inside and outside the University. Tapping into the rich resources of faculty and staff who are involved in research, scholarship, instruction, administration, and service that meshes with the Institute’s work is one way to mutually expand our capacity and to reach broader audiences. The Affiliated Faculty and Staff Initiative is designed to establish and nurture meaningful but relatively unstructured opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration with University faculty and staff who share common interests. These informal associations can provide a variety of mutual benefits including:
- Sharing research and subject matter expertise
- Stimulating creative thinking
- Fostering collaboration across disciplines
- Enhancing the quality of classroom instruction
- Energizing diversity and cross-cultural initiatives at the University
