Inside the 2026 Annual Review

One of my favorite roles at CSWS—besides putting together this publication—is helping University of Oregon students and faculty to share their funded research with our community. Whether I’m organizing and publicizing Noon Talks, conducting video interviews, or editing articles submitted for the Annual Review, I feel privileged to be one of the first to hear about the incredible research, scholarship, and creative work that our Research Fellows are producing.
