In the Spring 2024 semester, our campus embraced a unique academic venture with the launch of the Wicked Problem of Precarity course. This innovative course, co-taught by three doctoral students from the Faculty of Health, Faculty of Environment, and Faculty of Arts, gathered undergraduate students across the five faculties to collaboratively explore and address the complex issue of precarity.
The course fostered a rich, interdisciplinary environment, enabling students to delve into how precarity—manifesting as poverty, homelessness, housing scarcity, and more—affects various aspects of life. Now, we are excited to present the culmination of their hard work at the Wicked Problem of Precarity Course Symposium. Symposium highlights:
- Poster Presentations: Discover the creative solutions to precarity problems proposed by our undergraduates. Their final projects span a range of topics, each offering a fresh perspective on tackling real-world issues.
- Graduate Student Insights: Hear directly from the doctoral students who co-designed and taught the course. They will share their experiences and insights into the process of developing this interdisciplinary learning experience.
- Interdisciplinary Approaches: Gain a deeper understanding of how combining different fields of expertise can lead to innovative solutions to complex societal challenges.
- Networking and Refreshments: Enjoy an afternoon of engaging discussions and networking opportunities, complemented by grazing platters and drinks.
All staff, faculty, and students are welcome! Whether you are interested in innovative teaching methods, interdisciplinary research, or simply curious about the course’s outcomes, we invite you to join us for an informative and inspiring afternoon.
