a2ru Explores Peer Review Platform for Collaborative Scholarship
May 15, 2015
On June 9th the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) will convene key thought leaders from across the country to explore the possibility of developing a peer review platform for collaborative scholarship and research involving the arts, sciences, technology, the humanities, and other disciplines. The intersection of a variety of disciplines, which historically has had no stage upon to champion this work, is the impetus for this effort. The platform is intended to showcase arts-integrated interdisciplinary work and unify exemplars. This will allow academics to communicate the value and meaning of this work to a broad audience in a peer-reviewed space. The following attendees are confirmed:
