Well, from the very outset, as soon as we have people from different walks of life in a room, we have different ideas. This is, I think, the nature of diversity. One of the really fascinating things we're looking at right now is models of student retention using large datasets with AI. AI cannot recognize certain groups of people, because its creators did not make it representative. As soon as we have different people sitting at the table, all of those things get corrected.
The research questions we come up with can be as global as the community we have. Right now we have major issues facing the globe. We have migration, poverty and climate change, and the students who sit in my classrooms—my doctoral students—have lived this. Their questions are at the cutting edge. They're not old and stale. They are the things we need to listen to. Curiosity is at the heart of community, I think.
