Research Update

I recently completed my 390th research interview and decided to share a list of the disciplines in which the interview participants work and study.  Many of these are broad headings covering a number of sub-disciplines, so the list is actually more extensive than is shown below.  However, given the crossover and hybridity between disciplinary designations at different institutions I’ve visited, I decided that a broader approach to the categories was more advantageous.
