*OREGON INSTITUTE FOR CREATIVE RESEARCH* is a platform for developing 
potent new models of theory and practice, thought and action, critique 
and verification; a research institute and experimental school devoted 
to work on major contemporary questions of pressing concern and global 
import in terms of junctures and intersections (Ethics, Æsthetics, 
Ecology, Education); a safe haven and refuge for scholars, artists, 
journalists, and activists from around the world forced to flee for 
their lives because of the work they carry out or, in some instances, 
simply because of who they are; a project incubator for actuating 
optimal futures in the face of massive global change, political 
polarization, and environmental catastrophe; and, increasingly and by 
necessity, a direct-action organizer capable of addressing urgent 
contemporary challenges. The Institute fosters the work of thinkers and 
makers devoted to tackling problems and challenges in new and innovative 
ways. Each year, a select and highly diverse cohort of scholars and 
researchers are chosen to work with OICR faculty and research associates 
on projects possessing direct relevance and applicability for rethinking 
major sites of contemporary contestation. The Institute seeks to advance 
the reunification of all branches of human knowledge with the ultimate 
goal of the resacralization of the world. For more information, see the 
OICR website <https://oicr-e4.org>.*
