CLA Research Synergy Clusters depict the existing synergies within the college that are directed toward having an impact both nationally and globally. Examining the human dimensions of challenges facing the globe today, the clusters work through interdisciplinary relationships with various colleges across Purdue to explore the ways in which the systematic study of languages, communication, literatures, histories, cultures, societies, and politics can have an impact on contemporary understandings of global challenges. From the breakthrough explorations of digital humanities to critical interrogations of socio-cultural understandings of the environment, CLA Research Synergy Clusters are committed to making a difference.
