UST 688 - Transdisciplinary Perspectives

[1 credit(s)]

Pre-requisite: Students must be graduate-degree seeking or nondegree seeking with admittance to the Society 5.0 Certificate Program. Transdisciplinary Perspectives introduces students to transdisciplinary theory, perspectives, and processes as well as tools and techniques for successful transdisciplinary research in human-centered technology. Transdisciplinary approaches are becoming more prominent as research attempts to tackle today’s bigger, more complex global challenges in urban settings. Through this course, students will learn how they might use transdisciplinary approaches to engage community members with lived experience as part of the research team, allowing for the emergence of new ideas to benefit society. Through literature and case studies, this course provides the intellectual and contextual foundations for this type of convergent research and practice and encourages students from various disciplines to explore how they might approach wicked problems at the intersection of humans and machines through a transdisciplinary research lens.
