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.

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.
