This volume pairs practical and theoretical insights on experimentation while advancing new models of transdisciplinary research, teaching, and institutional transformation.
Transdisciplinary Experiments explores how experimental approaches can reshape research, education, and institutions in higher education to respond to today’s complex and interconnected challenges. Grounded in the idea that experiment can open up new possibilities, the volume examines how transdisciplinary teaching and learning can inspire change across disciplines, sectors, and cultures.
