UC Faculty Invited to Brainstorming Session on Interdisciplinary Research

Two UC professors are joining forces with a researcher from NIOSH to unite faculty for a research brainstorming session on work and well-being.

Suzanne Masterson

, professor of management at the Lindner College of Business, and

Heather Zoller

, professor of communication at McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, are co-hosting the event with Kaori Fujishiro of NIOSH, and invite professors to share ideas, identify new collaborations and develop new approaches to studying work and well-being beyond individual academic disciplines.

The brainstorming session will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. Feb. 4 at Stratford Heights Pavilion Banquet Hall, second floor, 2634 Stratford Avenue. Lunch will be provided.

Masterson, whose research centers on employee work relationships and perceptions, notes that work is an important aspect of life for a large segment of the population and that many scholars from a wide range of academic traditions investigate its role in life and society, along with the concept of well being. The purpose of this brainstorming session is to establish new connections for future interdisciplinary research.
