Robinson (Art) ] interdisciplinary NSF grant sponsors a
“Broader Impacts” component that has offered research
fellowships to graduate and undergraduate student
participants drawn from the humanist fields – this past
year students from English, Art, Political Science and
Music participated. As participant observers these
students learned about our science and engineering and
were charged with responding to our science and
commenting on it in the context of their own
disciplines.

Magazine. The article describes some of their efforts in
this novel component to research.
