Our conference theme celebrates the fortuitous intersections of insights that arose as 20 scholars undertook journeys from different disciplinary points of departure, across unfamiliar terrain, and towards distinct goals. By connecting and communicating different forms of knowledge, the scholars articulate new knowledgescapes. Just as tesselations and mosaics combine distinct elements into coherent patterns, the individual scholars have become a cohesive community. Join the 2005-2006 Haas Scholars as they reveal the many discoveries made in their quest for knowledge.
