‘We believe that the major challenges facing the world today cannot be addressed through a single disciplinary approach. Integrated, sophisticated responses are needed, and CRASSH is the place to enable such scholarship to flourish. It allows scholars to move from the germ of an idea through a working group to a full-scale investigation – which can help change the world.’
