Modeling
Interdisciplinary Inquiry brings together a cadre of young scholars
who are already working in these directions, and whose experience
with mentors at Washington University will sharpen their awareness
of and their ability to contribute to real and substantial collaboration
between humanists and social scientists at the undergraduate,
graduate, and research levels. This postdoctoral program is
not intended to produce more young scholars for an already crowded
marketplace but rather to produce university colleagues and
teachers for whom the kind of collegial collaboration that is
so productive in the sciences becomes an important addition
to the traditional model of the single and often isolated scholar.
At Washington University the faculty in the humanities and social
sciences see this postdoctoral program as an important initiative
and an exciting opportunity both for the university and for
new scholars trained in and wishing to advance the conversation,
the collegiality, and the modes of inquiry within and across
disciplines that have become essential to the growth of the
university and of the fields and modes of knowledge that the
university takes as its domain.
