Workshop Description:
This workshop is the first in a three-part series "Visioning Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs." This workshop will focus on best practices for building intellectual community among and between various program constituents (e.g., faculty, faculty and students, students, and other communities within and beyond the University of Minnesota). Participants will reflect on their goals and objectives for building intellectual community, the success of the practices they currently use, and the specific types of supports that they would need in order to achieve their community-building goals.
The workshop will include a round table discussion of best practices featuring faculty leaders and graduate students from interdisciplinary programs as well as a working session focused on creating a plan for building intellectual community within interdisciplinary graduate programs.
In order to help inform the round table discussion, we invite each participant to submit a response to a set of questions (see link below). Please send your written responses to the questions (no longer than two pages) to cvoight@umn.edu by Friday, September 12. The responses will also be used to produce a guide of best practices in interdisciplinary graduate education that will be shared more broadly within the University’s graduate education community.
