At a recent workshop organized by Emory’s Center for Faculty Development and Excellence, faculty and students from the Interdisciplinary Studies Program discussed how interdisciplinary studies has influenced their teaching and scholarship, and how IDS can best serve faculty and students across the college and professional schools, given its strengths in bridging the humanities and sciences, and in teaching research and writing.

Susan Curtis is Professor of History and the Director of the Interdisciplinary Studies Program at Purdue University. In recent years, her chief project in the classroom and in her research has involved the integration of the meaning of American culture in a multiracial and multiethnic society. She seeks ways to understand cultural collaboration and conflict across racial boundaries and to expose the power of culture to delimit opportunities, expression, acceptance, and citizenship. Professor Curtis is the author of several major works, including A Consuming Faith: The Social Gospel and Modern American Culture (1991), which demonstrates the interplay between sacred and secular realms in the reformulation of Protestant thought and practice between the 1880's and the 1920's. She has also published material related to the role of gender within the Social Gospel movement.
