Transforming undergraduate learning: teaching transdisciplinarity on a university-wide scale

Join us for this ITD Alliance Oceania Regional Network Webinar and open discussion ("Talanoa")! Gain insights on teaching transdisciplinarity and meet new colleagues from across the Oceania region.

While a focus on transdisciplinary approaches for tackling complex social and environmental problems is well established in specialised postgraduate programs, universities are becoming increasingly interested in embedding transdisciplinary capabilities at the undergraduate level. The University of Technology Sydney and The Australian National University are pioneers of such university-wide efforts in Australia. In this session, two key people from these institutions, Giedre Kligyte and Chris Browne, will share their experiences of implementing transdisciplinary learning at scale. Download the flyer for details and speaker biographies.

Giedre and Chris will make brief scene-setting presentations and then engage in a dialogue, which will then be broadened out to include the audience. Moderation will be by Gabriele Bammer, President of the Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (ITD Alliance). 

This hour-long webinar will be followed by a 30-minute open discussion – a Talanoa - where you can connect with others across Oceania who are passionate about inter- and transdisciplinarity.
A recording of the seminar will be available from the ITD Alliance Oceania Regional Network web page after the event.
