The efforts of the Arts and Social Responsibility Project are supported by an interdisciplinary group of faculty and staff at BC. The Board of Advisors and the Faculty Network are comprised of individuals who believe in the mission of the ASRP and are committed to furthering positive social change. With backgrounds in a wide variety of disciplines, members of the Board and the Network are adept at creating effective teams, producing quality artistic projects and maintaining ethical standards of research. While each member has a unique area of expertise, together, the team can effectively guide the projects of the ASRP to be of the highest quality, artistically and ethically. Students are encouraged to reach out to these individuals for support and guidance when developing projects to be carried out through the ASRP.
