Crossing the Boundaries
A Conference on Interdisciplinarity and ResearchDisciplinary boundaries can be both prisons and safety zones. We are often tempted to transgress the boundaries of our disciplines, but at what cost and with what consequences?
The Faculty of Lifelong Learning, Birkbeck, with Consortium Projects, invite you to a multifaceted conference celebrating and critiquing interdisciplinary work.
As well as interrogations of the very concept of interdisciplinarity, specific issues within the fields of art, architecture, film, education, law, and literature will be examined.
Speakers include
- Marko Daniel, Curator of Public Programmes, Tate Modern (Chair)
- Matthew Gandy, Professor of Geography, University College London, and co-ordinator of the UCL Urban Laboratory
- Dr Tim Boon, Head of Collections, Science Museum
