Undisciplined Research: An L&ET Workshop

Why "Undisciplined Research"?

  • Because not all research happens within traditional academic disciplines
  • Because we can all learn things from each other
  • Because interesting things happen when traditional research and technology meet

The Undisciplined Research workshop series is designed to equip JMU faculty and graduate students with technology and research tools.  All workshops will be taught by faculty from the JMU Libraries and the Center for Instructional Technology.

All workshops will be held in room 301 in the Carrier Library.  Any JMU faculty or graduate students are welcome to attend the sessions.  No registration is required.
