The Centre for Disciplinary Innovation (CDI) at CRASSH
The Centre for Disciplinary Innovation (CDI) is part of a four-year project (initially 2008-2011; renewed for 2011-15) funded by the Andrew W Mellon Foundation. The CDI is a focus for collaboration and innovation at the graduate level and beyond, complementing other activities initiated within the CRASSH themes Cultural Transmission, Disciplinary Change, The Future University and Cultures and Politics of the Transregional. Since its start, the CDI has sponsored a wide range of activities focused around the following programmes at CRASSH:
- Graduate/Faculty Research Groups
- Mellon CDI Invited Fellows Programme
- Collaborative Teaching Fellowships
- A series of conferences focused on disciplinary change across the Humanities, the first, Changing the Humanities/the Humanities Changing, in July 2009, coinciding with the University's 800th celebrations. The follow-up event, The Future University was held on 30 June - 2 July 2011.
