KHeystone Projects are year-long, scholar-led collaborations aimed at addressing important regional or global issues. Each autumn quarter, any interested scholar can present an idea for a KHeystone Project at the annual Ideas Festival; scholars then form multidisciplinary project teams—sometimes aligned to their field of study, sometimes completely different.
