Community / Process Challenges
These are weekly challenges given to the community. One challenge is made available on a Monday with 3 days to complete it. A challenge is selected at random and open for contribution. Any member of the community may contribute to a challenge and collectively it helps us to explore the diverse methods, tools and techniques people employ to negotiate collaboration across arts/science towards the development of integrative works.
Past Challenges
-
In your experience, what is the greatest opportunity found in collaborating beyond traditional disciplinary divides?
June 06, 2013
The ability to communicate well. The more you collaborate, the more world views you have to learn to share - and with broader understanding comes easier acceptance and conveyance of new ideas when they are encountered.
-
Wicked problems (e.g. environmental impact, poverty, globalization, health, etc.) often transcend disciplinary bounds. How does your current work connect to grand global challenges?
May 30, 2013
My work seeks to broaden participation and enhance diversity by establishing research and education collaborations with researchers and practitioners who work with, or are members of underrepresented ethnic groups who are uninterested or disengaged in STEM areas. By engaging these learners we can better address problems that often impact disenfranchised communities the most.
