The Reciprocal Benefits of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Monday, March 2, 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Moscovich Recital Hall (MB 242) in the Music Building. 

Interdisciplinary thinking is often the catalyst for creative innovation. Coinciding with Atmospheric Shifts at McIntosh Gallery and The Art of Creation at Weldon Library, this panel discussion will focus on the reciprocal value and benefits of bringing the arts into conversation with other disciplines.

Moderated by McIntosh Gallery Curator Helen Gregory, the panel will include some of Western’s most creative boundary-pushing thinkers: Sarah Gallagher, Director of the Institute for Earth and Space Exploration; Gregory Kopp, Director of the Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory and ImpactWX Chair in Severe Storms Engineering; Julia Martin, undergraduate student in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering;  Andrew Nelson, Department Chair and Professor of Archaeology/Biological Anthropology, and member of the Bone and Joint Institute; Timothy Regnualt, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology; and Sharon Wei, Associate Professor in the Don Wright Faculty of Music.

Free and open to the public.
