Collaborating within & across disciplines

All are welcome for a two-day conference on the impact of race, inequality and language on schooling. Scholars from universities around the country will explore research at the intersection of race, poverty and language and how these issues affect teaching and learning. 

The Departments of Art & Art History and Chemistry at Stanford University present The Chemistry of Art. During this special event, faculty, staff and students from the Stanford Libraries and the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Art & Art History, and Physics Engineering will come together to give presentations that explore the integration of science with the arts. Please join us at 2:30pm on Friday, October 19th in the Sapp Center for Science Teaching & Learning. A reception will follow.

Join the Stanford Libraries, Stanford Graduate School of Business Library and Lane Medical Library for the third annual Gear Up for Social Science Data, part of the Gear Up for Research, a research fair at Stanford for faculty, graduate students, and staff from all schools and departments on campus.

The chair of the English department, Blakey Vermeule, and the Senior Associate Dean of the Humanities and Arts, Lanier Anderson, invite you to the first Humanities Public Writing Project event. This project brings Stanford graduate students into the exciting world of writing about the humanities and arts for a broad public audience.

The LASERs are a national program of evening gatherings that bring artists and scientists together for informal presentations and conversation with an audience. This event will present four artists, scientists, thinkers, inventors, and scholars who are working on paradigm shifts. The schedule also allows time for the audience to socialize and encourages people in the audience to briefly introduce their own work. Chaired by Piero Scaruffi.

Gender inequality in the workplace is still a reality and an issue that must be tackled head-on in Silicon Valley and Japan. In 2017, the World Economic Forum reported for the first time in 10 years, a widening of the global gender gap. Numerous efforts to break this cycle have been announced and implemented to varying degrees of success in both countries making it clear that we must do more, together.
