Written in Passing

The short lives institutions keep, and the scholars who read them closely

A research-showcase brochure led by the School of Emergent Priorities presents the University's work on the short lives institutions write about their people, from the remarks column of a borehole log and the painted honour board to the circulating farewell card and the handover file left for a successor. It frames that work as a cross-School practice of close reading and features eight published University studies, each cited by DOI.
