SMU's Human-Centered Interdisciplinary Studies department was delighted to have hosted the 2026 AGLSP Annual Conference on campus and to welcome scholars from across the country for several days of thoughtful dialogue, interdisciplinary exploration, and meaningful connection.

The conference was a wonderful reminder of the power of bringing together diverse perspectives to explore ideas that cross disciplines and enrich our understanding of the world. Thank you to everyone who presented, participated, and helped make this year's gathering such a success.

We're also delighted to celebrate members of SMU's HCIS community who were recognized for their outstanding contributions and writing by the Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs:

🏆 2026 Confluence Excellence in Interdisciplinary Writing Award: Dionne Ross Bacon, DLS Student
🏆 2026 Confluence Frederick Luis Aldama Excellence in Creative Writing Award: Camille Kraeplin, MLS student

Congratulations to our award recipients and to all who shared their scholarship throughout the conference. We were honored to host this inspiring community and look forward to continuing these conversations.

This week, Dr. John Potter and his students in the Engaging Conflict class stepped out of the classroom and into the community, serving dinner at the Stewpot in Dallas. This local nonprofit helps people overcome poverty and homelessness by providing essential services, community support, and a path to stability. We are grateful for our MADR and MLS students who fully engaged with this experience. And we want to give a special shout out to Aaron Zeman, DLS student and MADR alumnus, who organized this opportunity.
