The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme’s core goal is to build intellectual community and capacity for cross-disciplinary research that integrates humanistic orientations, and its cluster hiring program has greatly advanced these goals. GAHDT’s cluster-hired faculty bring expertise in community engagement, dance, education reform, gender inequality and global justice, language endangerment, translational circulation of cultural forms, and science and technology in the Global South. These colleagues join scholarly communities across the university to advance GAHDT’s commitment to cross-disciplinarity.
