We’re delighted to announce the fifth in our series of conversations about the value and challenges of interdisciplinarity in practice, featuring Shion Guha, University of Toronto and Anissa Tanweer, University of Washington.

This conversation focuses on how researchers can navigate issues and topics of critical global importance through both large and small scale data driven approaches.

This series is co-sponsored by the Digital Ethnography Research Centre, RMIT University and the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy at the University of Cambridge, together with diverse voices from disparate disciplines like computer science and cultural studies to talk about their definitions of interdisciplinarity, as well as struggles and commitment to this practice.

‘How can we combine, rather than privilege, certain data driven approaches on topics of critical global importance?’

This series also brings seasoned scholars together with Early Career Researchers to share practices across these levels.

Each seminar is unique, but builds from the core premise that today’s “big issues” demand more attention to interdisciplinarity and that everyone benefits when research ecosystems integrate multiple perspectives, even when this is challenging and time consuming.

Speakers:

-Shion Guha, University of Toronto

-Anissa Tanweer, University of Washington

-Annette Markham, RMIT University

-Gina Neff, University of Cambridge
