Co-sponsored by the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival and the Center for Faculty Excellence, the Distinguished Scholar Initiative brings established scholars who work across and between disciplines to campus during the festival for public lectures on their current research, moderated dialogues on research and pedagogy, and immersion with faculty. The Distinguished Scholar Initiative aims to create and sustain alliances between Upstate New York academic institutions and faculty to create new networks for interdisciplinary, international, and innovative work in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and the arts. The Initiative is designed to foster space for dialogue, exchange, and exploration in intensive, informal, interactive settings beyond the symposium, the conference, or the formal lecture.
