This theme aims to enhance higher educational practices by integrating multiple disciplines, fostering a more holistic and adaptable learning environment.

Like diverse aloe species sharing a habitat, interdisciplinary collaboration flourishes when differences are respected and allowed to coexist. Thriving in unexpected combinations, these plants mirror how diverse disciplines can enrich teaching and learning.

  • Teaching models that integrate different disciplinary approaches.
  • Using real-world scenarios that require input from different disciplines (e.g., managing pandemics, environmental crises and medical malpractice).
  • Multi-disciplinary simulation-based learning.
  • Joint teaching on topics (e.g. in science, law and health.
  • Interdisciplinary research in undergraduate teaching
  • Interdisciplinary projects that tackle sustainable development goals.
  • Capstone projects where students in different programmes collaborate to solve complex issues (e.g., access to healthcare, vaccine distribution justice, environmental health).
  • How to communicate and collaborate across disciplinary boundaries.

Many roots, one field. Interdisciplinary teaching thrives in diversity.
