<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
