Oregon Institute for Creative Research

The Oregon institute for Creative Research: e4 is a nonprofit corporation whose primary purpose is to operate a higher learning and Research institution that advances work at the intersection of ethics, sthetics, ecology, and education, given the fact that the challenges of the 21st century are so great that no single domain in and of itself is capable of adequately addressing them. Towards this end, OICR fosters thinkers and makers devoted to addressing social, psychological, and ecological problems in new and innovative ways-scholars, theorists, researchers, journalists, documentarians, social-justice advocates, artists, writers, and poets. The institute provides opportunities for Research, education, conferences, roundtables, colloquia, artist residencies, public outreach, and special projects.
