It serves a broad-based academic research mission supporting four objectives: 1. Crossdisciplinary research and inquiry among UW faculty and graduate students, 2. Initiatives in the humanities at the leading edge of change, 3. Innovative study at the graduate level, 4. Scholarship that reaches audiences beyond the academy.
