Interdisciplinary Collaboration Workshop Part 2: Building an Interdisciplinary Process

Interdisciplinary Collaboration Workshop Part 2: Building an Interdisciplinary Process

January 19, 2024
1:30 PM – 4:30 PM
STEM Teaching and Learning Facility Room 2110 Directions to event location

This workshop will share tools and activities that will help set the stage for developing productive collaborative teams invested in shared outcomes. 

This workshop will focus on approaches to interdisciplinary collaborative processes. Workshop participants will gain familiarity with theories and methodologies central to interdisciplinary collaborative process; practice activities that can support collaborative communication, learning, integration, and problem solving; and reflect on how these practices can inform their own work. Drawing from design research, interdisciplinary studies, theatre and improvisation, and the science of team science, we will explore concepts including boundary work and boundary objects, perspective taking and empathy, power dynamics, infrastructure and systems, reflexivity, and mindfulness. Please come willing to play as we call upon all our faculties – body, brain, and imagination – to interrogate collaborative processes and our roles in them. 

While this workshop is Part 2 in CIRCLE’s workshop series, participation in Part 1 is not a prerequisite. This is a standalone event.
