Affiliate Faculty


ARC Affiliates are faculty with interdisciplinary, arts-related research interests who often participate in ARC-sponsored programs such as the ARC Fellows program and ARC symposia. These activities build community and connection among faculty, and what begin as informal conversations often grow into concrete, ARC-sponsored projects.
