Beschreibungen/Notizen

• As researchers and ethnographers, ethnomusicologists and folklorists hold the skill sets necessary to mediate new scientific knowledge while maintaining a critical recognition of its inherent fragility as "truth." Ethnographers who focus on modes of creative expression seek to understand how music, folklore, dance, theater, and the visual arts can serve as effective communication tools, an area often lacking in current attempts to combine arts with community health practices. Rather than remaining separate, the humanities can bring its critical depth back in conversation with team science. Over the last decade, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have begun large-scale funding mechanisms for projects led by more than one Principal Investigator (PI). Mary Disis and John Slattery offer a useful lens through which to understand the success of the team process.
