Faculty Research Initiative Inspires Interdisciplinary Collaboration on Democracy

This academic year, IMD is collaborating with Wellesley’s Hillary Rodham Clinton Center (HRCC) on their Faculty Research Initiative to create a community for cross-disciplinary discussion of democracy. IMD co-founder Prof. Volić will chair the group, which is made up of nine faculty members across the humanities, arts, and sciences.

The program aims to connect researchers with common interests but varying research approaches. The faculty will engage in individual and collaborative projects, as well as sharing their work with the Clinton Fellows, a group of sophomores dedicated to civic action. IMD is excited to continue fostering cross-discipline connections and looks forward to a wonderful year with the initiative. The Wellesley College faculty participants are listed below.
