The symposium featured prominent scholars from across academic disciplines who are shaping important new fields of scholarly inquiry. Participants discussed the research questions that have served as the impetus for their new approaches, the methodological strategies that their emerging field entails, intellectual opportunities and challenges requisite to the emerging field, graduate student engagement, strategies for sustaining new research models, and other related issues.
The speakers represented a broad range of interdisciplinary fields, including digital humanities, architecture and geography, business history and corporate strategy, history and sociology, moral psychology and neuroscience, and literature and digital technologies.
