In our modern world, with multiple crises and paradoxes intertwining, the need for transdisciplinary research is greater than ever. Transdisciplinary research entails separate disciplines coming together to create new ways of knowing, to foster collaboration and innovative solutions to complex problems.

On August 21st, join the co-leads of UBC's Transdisciplinary Education PhD Naoko Ellis (Applied Science) and Derek Gladwin (Education) to discuss the conditions that foster transdisciplinary research. No need to register, but check our website for location updates in the case of inclement weather. This is an informal discussion, so feel free to bring your lunch, and we will provide iced tea!

If this topic interests you, consider taking INDS 502T 001, Practicing Collaborative Transdisciplinary Research for Impact. This course is taught by Naoko Ellis and Derek Gladwin and is open to all UBC graduate students interested in working across and beyond disciplinary frameworks to focus on some of the challenging societal transitions.
