Collaborative Scholarship

Collaborative scholarship is central to the residential college experience. Faculty and students often participate in research together and or engage in cross-college partnerships with faculty and students in other colleges or units on campus.

Often, these projects continue beyond students’ undergraduate experiences. Past and current collaborative research include JMC’s Living Archive, Mekong Culture WELL, Human Rights Data Science Lab and the Equitable Development Collaboratory.
