The New Normal

The New Normal was designed similar to a 3-year think-tank structure. Each year’s sequence resulted in an annual body of work that would, in turn, form part of the three year cycle of distributed, collaborative research between the researchers and a vast network of core faculty and contributors. Over the course of the initiative The New Normal welcomed contributions from a vast network of faculty and experts from around the world.
