Research

With the help of grants from the Fetzer, Ford, Hewlett, Spencer, and Templeton Foundations, the QLRC is currently conducting research jointly with Harvard and Stanford Universities on the conditions that make good work in the professions possible. Areas investigated include business, human genetics, the media, philanthropy, and higher education. Findings are used to enhance professional training in these areas.

Other projects the QLRC is currently involved in include:

• mentoring and the transmission of knowledge in intergeneration
  relationships
• contributions of art and aesthetics to the quality of life
• challenge and enjoyment in internet chess
• the role of contemplative and spiritual practices in daily life

The Center welcomes collaboration on projects in line with its basic mission.
