<b>OREGON INSTITUTE FOR CREATIVE RESEARCH</b> 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 <a
