The University of Nebraska's Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute and Rural Futures Institute will host the next "Transdisciplinary Conversations" event from 4-6:30 p.m., April 22 at Morrill Hall on UNL's City Campus.
This informal event series is designed to spur new directions in transdisciplinary research and collaboration. It is open to all NU faculty, staff and students, as well as interested colleagues in the private and nonprofit sectors. Light food and drinks will be served. Register for the event at: http://waterforfood.nebraska.edu/event.php?eventID=1519\
Brief remarks will be given by Jessica Shoemaker, assistant professor of law at the University of Nebraska. Shoemaker will speak briefly about her transdisciplinary work, highlighting a project that involves developing a simulation tool for public participation in land use planning. The project involved a diverse group of community stakeholders and academics from a variety of disciplines.
Parking: Event participants may park in the "loop" south of 14th and Vine St. with a valid UNL permit. If you do not have a permit, a parking attendant will distribute temporary parking passes at the intersection.
Transdisciplinary Conversations brings together scientists, students, extension educators, business leaders, policymakers, farmers and others, allowing them to gather informally and make cross-disciplinary connections they might not otherwise. This will be the last event during the spring semester. The event series will resume in the fall.
