About the BII
The Balliol Interdisciplinary Institute (BII) was established in September 2010 to cultivate and support interdisciplinary research in Balliol College, straddling the humanities, the social sciences, and the physical and medical sciences. The Institute gives Senior Members and Graduate Students the opportunity to propose and develop advanced research that requires contributions from more than one discipline, has high potential impact, and may be radical or speculative. Where appropriate, it fosters and facilitates engagement by interested and supportive Alumni. Participation from elsewhere in the University is welcome, but the research must be led by one or more Balliol Fellows, Lecturers, or Graduate Students. The Institute supports both gestation projects and more fully-fledged projects.
For more information, please see the Projects pages. A BII WebLearn site is available to logged-in users: you can ask to join by contacting the relevant lead investigator or by emailing bii@balliol.ox.ac.uk.
We are not currently inviting proposals for new projects. The next call for proposals is scheduled for Michaelmas Term 2013.
