Fostering Interdisciplinary Collaboration
ISSR connects scholars across disciplinary and methodological boundaries, enriching the repertoires of each, and opening opportunities for innovative new theory and research discoveries.
ISSR as a Natural Connector
Social science spans the human experience, and thrives through interdisciplinary collaboration. ISSR seminars, workshops, and methodology services build a robust community for debate and mutual learning on new frontiers in research, and spark innovation across disciplinary boundaries.
Social Science and Environment Network
The Social Science and Environment Network (SSEN) is a community of learning around climate change and sustainability research. ISSR supports this grass-roots model to leverage UMass' dispersed social science capacity on issues of vital intellectual and political importance.
