The Trinity Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (TIIS) provides support for faculty as intellectuals: to exchange ideas, discuss books, critique each other\u2019s works-in-progress, and invite scholars to campus to engage in ongoing discussions.\u00a0 TIIS was founded on the belief that many problems profit from being conceptualized in multiple ways and that interdisciplinary dialogue will invigorate our sense of the many available dimensions of a given intellectual project.<\/p>\n
The Institute\u2019s interdisciplinary vocation is two-fold. First, TIIS will enable scholars within a given disciplinary field to converse with scholars working in other epistemological and methodological frameworks. Second, TIIS will promote a deliberate, robust, and conscious outreach to all faculty members at Trinity, of all ranks and statuses\u00a0as well as to interested students and staff. TIIS facilitates the many interdisciplinary conversations already in progress on campus and off, and aims to initiate new ones.<\/p>\n
TIIS offers numerous and varied programming throughout the year, from large public events to intimate discussions.<\/p>\n
