Reinvention: an International Journal of Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate students studying (or recently graduated from) a Liberal Arts and Sciences programme in the UK or Europe were invited to submit a piece of research for a special issue of Reinvention: an International Journal of Undergraduate Research. This special issue celebrates the research carried out by the authors, and showcases the interdisciplinary work taking place in these institutions.
Teacher Training Toolkit
Led by University College Roosevelt, the BLASTER partners produced a toolkit for teachers of the Liberal Arts.
