About the Team
Each module is built by a project team consisting of faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduates in a laboratory setting. Similar to the experimental model of laboratory experience in the sciences, students participate in directed research as collaborative partners with the faculty who lead the project's development. Students are pushed beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries, as they research and work in communities and with other institutions. This training for humanities majors is unique and necessary for students' success in the 21st century. Wayne Fields, Visionary
