How do we teach transdisciplinarity?
This session will help participants interpret the ANU Transdisciplinary Problem-solving framework, and showcase resources that can help examine that question. We will also explore a key resource from an international collaboration examining the various ways and contexts for training for transdisciplinarity.
Drawing on experience around the room we will also have a more general discussion about what it means -- or could mean -- to create and run an excellent transdisciplinary course at ANU.
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of ANU's leading voices on transdisciplinary education. Spots are limited — register now to make sure you don't miss out.
