Diversity Research Network

 

The Diversity Research Network (DRN) connects faculty whose work emphasizes a broad spectrum of backgrounds and disciplines to create scholarly communities, facilitate new interdisciplinary collaborations, and advance the growth and visibility of research centered on cultural communities and systemically challenged communities by faculty members across MSU. The DRN emphasizes MSU’s commitment to inclusive excellence across all disciplines and promotes this value through the support and resources it provides. 

 The DRN is a support vehicle for enhancing research productivity; grant, research, and publication output; providing meaningful collaborative research opportunities; and training that emphasizes the unique research contexts of faculty and scholars whose lived experiences may include epistemic challenges.  

These resources take the form of small grant opportunities; providing social support and social networking opportunities; a searchable database of MSU scholars for building collaborative partnerships;  facilitating scholarly recognition through network news items and media; and topical meeting spaces, writing retreats, and mentoring events.
