Transdisciplinary Faculty Members

Expanding capacity on campus

New roles drive teaching, learning and research excellence in Areas of Focus

The Institutes for Transdisciplinary Scholarship (ITS) has co-funded academic faculty members to teach and engage in transdisciplinary work for a five-year term. 

These individuals were hired into a home faculty as assistant professors, and work within a minimum of two faculties. They were also hired for their existing work or interest in transdisciplinary scholarship.
