The Louise W. and Edmund J. Kahn Liberal Arts
Institute supports collaborative research among Smith College faculty, students and
visiting scholars without regard to the traditional boundaries of departments, programs
and academic divisions. Each year the Institute supports long-term and short-term
projects proposed, planned and organized by members of the Smith College faculty.
Fellows participating in long-term
research projects meet weekly throughout the year to develop their research and to
critique one another's work-in-progress from the perspective of their own disciplines
and intellectual interests. In addition to these discussions, the Fellows of each
project may invite visitors to participate in the research colloquia and in public
events that are open to the academic community and the broader community of western
Massachusetts.
Short-term projects (such as weekend workshops,
debates, sounding boards, etc.) provide new contexts for Smith College faculty to
explore topics of common intellectual concern that bear on their own research, and
may serve as seeds for future long-term projects. |
