of understanding our society and our times in the light of our fundamental commitments and values, even as
these are contested and changing. They will have a solid grounding in qualitative or quantitative approaches
to scholarly research and will welcome the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary and collegial
environment that also values autonomy and scholarly development.
