One of the defining characteristic of the Institute is its intellectual community of scholars and graduate students from acorss the USF system. Whether during Friday Seminars, Annual Symposia, in a working research group, or spontaneously in the hallway, our faculty and fellows exchange ideas on an ongoing basis about the cultural and enviornmental changes underway in our world today.
The Institute’s research agenda is driven by the Executive Director with input from the Working Group Directors and Lab Director.
The Anthropocene Working Group is an interdisciplinary network of researchers who conduct collaborative research, teaching, and outreach on the Anthropocene, a newly proposed geologic epoch.
The Evolution Working Group is an interdisciplinary network of researchers dedicated to the understanding and application of evolutionary processes.
Each year the Insitute adds a new cohort of Faculty and Graduate Fellows, as well as young alumni.
