Brilliant Minds is committed to producing a monthly newsletter that explains contemporary political, economic, and cultural issues in a way that is accessible and informative for the lay person. Brilliant Minds relies on the expertise of scholars, activists, and practitioners in an effort to build a diverse knowledge base. The content that Brilliant Minds produces focuses on aspects of culture, global community engagement, and economic development. The newsletter highlights the work of our researchers in their area of specialization, as well as the conversations which emerge surrounding their topic. Our researchers are connected to activists and other participants in these fields in order to provide a grassroots perspective on these issues.
