The Center will explore various themes through upcoming symposia, lectures, and sponsored research projects with a primary focus on work (waged and unwaged) and social capital (the value that lies in networks of relationships).  Crain and other faculty from a variety of interdisciplinary backgrounds will direct these programs.
