Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary European Integration: Postdigital innovations in Science, Education, Technology, Arts, and Culture
All staff and students are invited to join Bath Spa University colleagues in collaboration with our partners at the International University of Economics and Humanities in Ukraine, for a conference that promotes European integration through the exploration of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration.
The transition from the material to the digital has significant implications for Higher Education as we currently know it. The way we think, behave, learn and create are forever changed by human-technology relationships and need to be considered carefully in relation to the challenges that currently face the sector.
This international conference will consider how interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration, in combination with the use of a critical pedagogy, has the potential to generate new fields of knowledge, partnerships, networks and innovative practices. It will consider collaboration within this context and as a generator of innovation for societal good and as part of sustained cultural and educational development.
