Networks
Within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), there exist a large number of research groups, networks, and initiatives. The activities of these groups range from regular paper discussions to full fledged research projects, but all contribute to the depth and wide range of interdisciplinary research in the Faculty of HSS at Memorial. The Nexus Centre hopes to support and work collaboratively with as many interdisciplinary research networks as possible at Memorial, helping to further develop an interactive research culture within the Faculty of HSS.
Discard Studies
The Discard Studies Blog is designed as an online gathering place for scholars, activists, environmentalists, students, artists, planners, and others whose work touches on themes relevant to the study of waste and wasting. As its starting point, Discard Studies holds that waste is not produced by individuals and is not automatically disgusting, harmful, or morally offensive, but that both the materials of discards and their meanings are part of wider sociocultural-economic systems.
