Description
Join us for an engaging interdisciplinary session aimed at fostering collaboration across campus. This session is intended to bring together diverse groups involved in interdisciplinary work to discuss the nature and importance of interdisciplinary education at the University of Waterloo. We are excited to be joined by Dr. Simon C. Riley from the University of Edinburgh to share his experiences using the Student-Led Individually Created Course (SLICC) framework to support students working on interdisciplinary teams. Dr. Katie Plaisance (Professor, Knowledge Integration) will facilitate a discussion about interdisciplinary education, provide an overview of inter- and transdisciplinarity approaches, and briefly highlight key lessons for building students’ interdisciplinary capacities. This session is an opportunity for participants to engage in a constructive dialogue and collective consider further avenues for interdisciplinary education at the University of Waterloo.
Our goals for this interdisciplinary session are to:
- Explore and expand our understanding of what interdisciplinary education looks like at the University of Waterloo.
- Bring together individuals interested in interdisciplinary teaching to initiate a collaborative dialogue.
- Identify the support currently available, what interdisciplinary work is happening on campus now, and consider paths forward for interdisciplinary collaboration.
