Since 2013, the Education & Human Development theme of Bass Connections (EHD) has engaged students and faculty in interdisciplinary research exploring the range of factors contributing to positive life outcomes from personal and communal health to social and familial connections to income and employment to happiness.

In 2022-2023, EHD - one of the program’s five original thematic areas - is being replaced by a new theme, Race & Society, which will investigate how race shapes society and lived experience.

As we say goodbye to EHD after nine years, we want to celebrate and share the impact of this theme on the Duke community and beyond.
