...course, the Education School. The same goes for many other topics in the social sciences—from urban studies to racial discrimination, inequality to immigration, and health policy to corporate governance—that draw into the mix several other schools, including the Law School, the Design School, and the School of Public Health. The potential for synergies and interdisciplinary research across these rarely-traversed boundaries boggles the mind. Hence our elation that University President Drew G. Faust has decided to create a University-wide social sciences task force to promote greater integration among Harvard?...

Traditional architecture disguised dusty hallways that were crowded with patients and modern medical equipment, in an even closer juxtaposition of Beijing’s “high” and “low?...
...failure to conform to its location, a disharmony that filled me with both confusion and understanding. The building didn’t fit in at all, and yet I realized that there was no way that such a museum could fit in, either in terms of its design or the history it depicted. Going inside the museum only intensified this strange tension between knowledge and bewilderment. Like all museums, the Jewish Museum naturally functions as a way to disseminate information, a mission that it carries out admirably. Designers spread exhibits along three “axes”: the Axis...
