Primary Research Questions:

1. What is inductive knowledge at CGU?

2. How does CGU's history shape its current research activities?

3. How to CGU researchers come to insight about research?

Process

To investigate these questions, we assembled a background paper and conducted a focus group with some of the distinguished scholars on the CGU faculty. This focus group was taped, and selected film clips are available in the different sections. For a full list of all films, please go to Group 5 and 6's page. The most interesting clips can be found on 6 Focus Group Findings.

While Group 1 will frame the research questions and objectives, the output of this group will be to address the background and context of those questions. The following examples are provided:

1. How did the different disciplinary approaches at CGU develop over time?

2. What is the role of inductive knowledge at CGU? How did this role develop over time?

3. How does CGU's history/culture shape its current research activities?

4. What is the role of social conversation at CGU? What role does CGU's history/culture play in today's social conversation?
