Signature Research Areas
The UCCS Global Intercultural Research Center (GLINT)
is facilitating the GLINT talk series in 2018-2019 to discover current areas of strength at UCCS as well as the areas in which we anticipate the most intense productivity and growth over the next five years. Many GLINT affiliates work in more than one overlapping and reinforcing area, and in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. These areas move well beyond the bounds of traditional subject areas and are on the cutting edge of global intercultural research.

People and Environment
One of GLINT’s signature study areas focuses on investigations of how human interactions with the physical environment vary across local, regional, and global scales.
Migration
GLINT affiliates’ research on the topic of human migration across borders intersects with the two other signature research areas. This research focus engages with questions regarding international migration patterns, urbanization, and inequality.
Transboundary Relations
Through their research, GLINT faculty affiliates examine current and historical features of transboundary relationships as related to culture, politics, and communications. This body of work extends into the public policy arena and is contributing to theoretical and applied advancements.
