Cultureworks is a research program based at Mount Allison University that is focused on artistic, academic, archival, and administrative approaches to culture and community and the connections between them. A three-year initiative funded by SSHRC's Aid to Small Universities Program (ASUP), funding is made available to faculty to support interdisciplinary, innovative research and creative practice that advances broad-based community collaborations in the Atlantic region and beyond. Cultureworks is guided by an interdisciplinary steering committee consisting of representatives of diverse areas of research and creative activity at Mount Allison University.
