FY23 Communities of Research Scholars

Established in the fall of 2018, Communities of Research Scholars (CoRS) was created to cultivate interdisciplinary discourse and nurture the growth of collaborative research across the UofM. Each community is comprised of faculty representing multiple disciplines, academic units, perspectives and research approaches with a shared interest in exploring a common research theme or topic. The FY23 funded CoRS projects and their principal investigators in the College of Arts & Sciences are listed below. To view all, visit UofM Research and Innovation page.
