We take an interdisciplinary approach to writing and culture. We forge new ways of thinking about the connections between contemporary literature and many other fields. These include the sciences, law, aesthetics, politics, ethics and critical theory. Additionally, we explore connections with space, maritime studies, medicine, finance and Jewishness.
