Core to college values is an open-mindedness and curiosity that transcends any one interest or mode of thinking. A Tembusu collegian is not a narrow partisan of his or her particular discipline but someone who can navigate different disciplines classically described in terms of science, technology, arts and social sciences and draw connections between them. Many of our fellows research, read and write in multi-disciplinary fields that are related to examining the relationship between science, technology and people. We, as a College, ask questions about how society, culture, and politics shape our views, choices and knowledge about the world which we live in. We ask these questions to understand the possibilities and challenges for people living today and in the future. And to re-imagine what a better world could or might be. For the fellows and students of Tembusu College, these sets of questions are not distinct and cannot be adequately addressed by adopting a singular disciplinary perspective or paradigm.
