Undisciplined Conversations, a dynamic space for transdisciplinary dialogues between the arts, education and beyond, will take place in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy. Join us for an engaging conversation as we host invited guests who foster diverse research perspectives and encourage co-creation beyond our immediate disciplines. The nature of conversation is informal as we share in making vibrant ecosystems of learning together. Let us welcome a diverse community of scholars to enrich our educational discourses.
For our March session, we are excited to host Dr. Samson Nashon and Quentin VerCetty, distinguished scholars, practitioners, and researchers, as they share their perspectives on navigating academia and the arts as BIOP scholars.
Together, we will explore the rich possibilities of translating diverse lived experiences into practice, disrupting institutional norms, and moving beyond performative diversity toward meaningful structural change. Our speakers, recognized for their groundbreaking contributions to education, storytelling, and artistic activism, will offer critical insights that deepen our understanding of transdisciplinary experiences.
