TD Convos

Please join us for our first Transdisciplinary Research Conversation (TD Convo) of 2024 exploring the intersection of mental health, resilience and education for young people.

TD Convos reimagines the traditional approach to academic seminars. We open our doors to our community so that we can have collective conversations, cross boundaries, and make connections.

Presentation of PhD study by Monique Potts:

Towards an understanding of resilience and experiential learning for young people in the context of uncertain futures and climate disruption

Following the presentation you will be invited to join in an immersive 3D modelling activity of the current and future education systems

TD School

The TD School is the UTS home of transdisciplinary education and research. Study with us to learn across, between and beyond our disciplines – to enrich your possibilities and make an impact.

The TD School’s uniquely collaborative approach to research combines academic knowledge from multiple disciplines with applied knowledge from industry.

TD research is ideally suited to problem spaces that are open, complex, dynamic and networked. It goes beyond solving discrete problems by opening doors to new questions and digs deeper at root causes instead of targeting symptoms.
