Discipline 101
Seminars

The Disciplines 101 Seminars are online gatherings in which researchers with a wide range of disciplinary expertise take turns teaching each other about the fundamental concepts, theories, perspectives, tools, and analytical approaches used in their disciplines. The idea is to spend time getting to know each other’s disciplinary languages in the deep way necessary to catalyze transdisciplinary collaboration. We will focus primarily on learning key disciplinary fundamentals (concepts and theories) most relevant to coastal research. However, participants will also highlight research projects and connections to other coastal research, providing the opportunity to think about common foci through different lenses, with emphasis on the time- and spatial-scale aspects of those lenses. These seminars focus on catalyzing new transdisciplinary academic research, but they are intended to be accessible to a broad audience, and community partners are encouraged to join.
