Stephen Freeland selected as new director of Interdisciplinary Studies

Interdisciplinary Studies (INDS) is pleased to welcome Dr. Stephen Freeland as its new Director. Dr. Freeland succeeds Patricia La Noue, praised for building a solid foundation during her time in the position.

In his new role, Dr. Freeland will extend the strengths of INDS. He has particular interests in the interface of science and religion and in using the full spectrum of creative arts to visualize and communicate social science, natural science and engineering. In this capacity, Dr. Freeland initiated activities by presenting a public lecture in Washington D.C. for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) dialogue on science, ethics, and religion.

As Dr. Freeland begins to build new bridges, he would be delighted to hear from members of the campus community. Feel free to reach out to him directly at freeland@umbc.edu.
