Bárbara Brizuela, who has been named dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, is a big believer in interdisciplinary research. “Knowledge-seeking has no disciplinary boundaries,” says Brizuela. “We’re going to need broad and connected perspectives to be able to solve the world’s biggest problems.”

The dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) and professor of education served as the school’s dean ad interim since July. Her appointment to lead the School of Arts and Sciences builds on a long and distinguished career as a teacher, mentor, researcher, and administrator.
