Crossing the Boundaries
A Conference on Interdisciplinarity and Research
Saturday 31st May, Birkbeck, University of London
Disciplinary boundaries can be both prisons and safety zones. We are
often tempted to transgress the boundaries of our disciplines, but at
what cost and with what consequences?
The Faculty of Lifelong Learning, Birkbeck, with Consortium Projects,
invite you to a multifaceted conference celebrating and critiquing
interdisciplinary work.
As well as interrogations of the very concept of interdisciplinarity,
specific issues within the fields of art, architecture, film,
education, law, and literature will be examined.
Speakers include
* Marko Daniel, Curator of Public Programmes, Tate Modern (Chair)
* Matthew Gandy, Professor of Geography, University College
London, and co-ordinator of the UCL Urban Laboratory
* Dr Tim Boon, Head of Collections, Science Museum
Date
Saturday 31st May, 9.30am-5pm
Venue
Room B35, Birkbeck, Malet Street, University of London. See
