The academic world is often sorted into separate boxes, but the real-word problems we’re facing can’t be neatly filed away. How can we make interdisciplinarity work practically in both teaching and research? Our discussion includes advice on how to implement interdisciplinarity in teaching and research, what students get out of interdisciplinary work, the distinctions between multi- and transdisciplinary work and how they differ from interdisciplinarity, and how universities can promote interdisciplinary learning from the word go.

Our panellists are:

  • Louise Kuchel, deputy associate dean at the Faculty of Science, University of Queensland
  • Rohan Walker, director of advanced training systems at the University of Newcastle, Australia
  • Kyle Jenkins, dean of creative arts at the University of Southern Queensland.

All of our speakers are from Campus+ partner institutions. Campus+ is a unique opportunity to become a contributing partner to the resources, tools and advice published on Campus.

Don’t forget to book your ticket to Campus Live ANZ, taking place on 26 and 27 September in Newcastle, Australia.
