Our collaborative research and learning environment is supported by a series of Intensives – nine online sessions spread across the year. They serve as foundational anchor points, encouraging peer-to-peer engagement through immersive academic and creative weekend sessions. These online sessions include faculty-led group workshops on Saturdays that blend topical and research skills, as well as Sunday guest talks connecting you with international colleagues and creative researchers representing each of our nine research interest constellations. These sessions culminate in peer research group meetings for further reflection and exchange. Session formats vary, and guest faculty are encouraged to share their most recent research, opening a window into their unique approaches and fostering vital, lively exchange.
