Description
The Collaborative Humanities Labs program at Brown University's Cogut Institute for the Humanities funds three-year, cross-disciplinary research initiatives designed to catalyze collaboration across disciplines and generate new or integrative knowledge. Labs are intended to address important and emerging issues by combining distinct disciplinary methods, fostering innovative research and academic dialogue both within and beyond Brown. Each lab is led by a pair of faculty members, with at least one from the humanities, and includes opportunities for student involvement, collaborative teaching, and public-facing activities.
