Interdisciplinary research clusters offer scholars the opportunity to explore a topic of shared interest. Clusters can be comprised of OSU faculty and instructors, scholars from other institutions, and advanced graduate students. Activities can include works-in-progress discussions, reading groups, or teams with specific goals such as course or conference development.
