Where can research in the humanities and arts take you? Come chat with a few of our faculty members and learn about how they've engaged undergraduates in projects such as preserving world heritage through GIS and 3-D visualization; creating theater based on interviews with community members; and studying how indigenous patients are treated in clinic settings.
