The Humanities Institute has developed a research connector tool to create links between faculty, staff and students affiliated with the arts and humanities at Ohio State. A keyword-based database that creates visual connections linking research themes, this interactive website was created to help faculty find collaborative partners or colleagues who share their interests.  

Ohio State is a huge university with many potential connections across department lines, but because of its size, networking can feel overwhelming. This tool can help colleagues easily identify potential partners for collaboration or simply to meet for coffee. The animated graph of the database visualizes the interests colleagues may share with each other, and the search function offers a place to start exploring.

If you are interested in interdisciplinary and collaborative research in the arts and humanities at Ohio State, follow this link to complete the form to identify your research interests. 

You can find the published research connector and start exploring here.
