October 16-17, 2024: Consultant Talk and Workshops | Dr. Pauline Gagnon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CAMPUS-WIDE TALK: Interdisciplinary Work: History, Theory and Best Practices\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wed., October 16, 2024, 1:30pm \u2013 2:30pm, School of Communications Presentation Hall
\nASL Interpretation provided<\/strong><\/p>\n

This talk will open with the premise that interdisciplinary work is not anti-disciplinary.\u00a0 Dr. Gagnon will explore a variety of historical threads that led to the more formalized Interdisciplinary curricula being offered today. Ranging from inter-disciplines\u201d to the more complex \u201ctransdisciplinary\u201d discourse, there are many pathways in the journey to integration. Both the demands of the real world as well as shifting sands in academic landscapes, lend themselves to increasing interdisciplinary work for both students as well as faculty. This presentation will allow for a Q&A session at the end.<\/p>\n

WORKSHOPS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

1. Research Workshop: Roads to Integration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wed., October 16, 2024, 3:00pm \u2013 5:00pm, University Hall ADP Center, 1145<\/strong><\/p>\n

This workshop focuses on how researchers can identify an interdisciplinary versus disciplinary problem. Once the commitment to the interdisciplinary approach is made, what are the best practices in group or individual work? What funding sources may be available? In this session, Dr. Gagnon will introduce key works from interdisciplinary research scholars that assist with launching best practices for integrative research work. Beginning with the \u2018steps\u2019 approach from Repko and Szostak, these and other modes will be introduced and discussed in the context of \u2018wicked problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Light fare and refreshments will be provided. If you have a scheduling conflict or would just like to ask a question, please do not register \u2013 you may attend a Q&A among registered workshop participants and with the consultant as a drop-in from 4:45pm – 5:00pm.<\/em><\/p>\n

This workshop will identify key components in identifying the work of being interdisciplinary, the best ways to tie these to course learning outcomes, and interdisciplinary team-teaching tips. Best practices of identifying the IDS problem, assessing contributing disciplines and integrating insights will be introduced.\u00a0 How the elements of defining integrative work connects to good IDS research habits and funding sources will also be discussed.<\/p>\n

Light fare and refreshments will be provided. If you have a scheduling conflict or would just like to ask a question, please do not register \u2013 you may attend a Q&A among registered workshop participants and with the consultant as a drop-in from 3:35 pm – 4:00pm.<\/em><\/p>\n

These events are part of the Office of the Provost Interdisciplinary Initiatives plan to commit to nurturing impactful, faculty-initiated research and teaching that integrates disciplines and promotes synergies among faculty by providing seed funding for research projects and team-taught course development and implementation, cultivating opportunities for faculty collaboration, and curating resources and workshops on conceptual and procedural interdisciplinarity.<\/p>\n
