Interdisciplinary Research for the Longer-Range Future
The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University is an interdisciplinary, solutions-oriented research center that seeks to understand the environmental, political, economic, social, and cultural forces that affect the human condition today and in the decades to come. Through its post-doctoral associates and its seed grants to BU faculty, the Pardee Center leads interdisciplinary research projects that have practical implications for forward-looking policy and decision-making. Through its Graduate Summer Fellows program – an intensive 10-week research and writing fellowship for BU master’s and doctoral students – the Pardee Center trains future generations of interdisciplinary scholars. The Pardee Center’s scholarship is reflected in its publications series and in its events, which include seminars, workshops, conferences, and lectures that are open to the public.
