This interactive and reflective workshop will provide tools for cultivating the skills and characteristics necessary to engage in effective interdisciplinary collaborations.

Interdisciplinary collaboration requires more than putting people with different skills and training in a room together to see what happens. Good collaborators embody characteristics that enable sharing across boundaries, allow for empathetic perspective taking, and foster open-minded engagement with different inquiry approaches. What are these characteristics, and how can we cultivate them?

Join us to explore your own interdisciplinary and collaborative superpowers, imagine your dream collaborators, and further develop your collaborative skills and sensibilities. Plan to vision, draw, move, and share as we get beyond our disciplinary brains and tap into our creative selves.

While this workshop will focus on building individual interdisciplinary capacity, collaboration itself is a relationship-based process, and as such, we will work together to build collective understanding about interdisciplinarity.
