As this year’s conference title suggests, the 2007–2008 Haas Scholars privilege “research” as both noun and verb, as results inseparable from process, and as tentative syntheses held together by interpretations of diverse data: a process of “drawing” that simultaneously denotes nascent creativity, tentative conclusions, and an opportunity to “draw from” an interdisciplinary community. The Haas Scholars are pleased to invite you to join them as they present their aesthetic achievements, innovative analyses, and new proposals for social and technical solutions.
