The Learning Spaces Collaboratory has a series of webinars and in-person events planned for fall. The October 23 webinar has interdisciplinarity, a theme receiving increasing attention, as a theme. Please see below for links and additional information. —Joan Lippincott, CNI

How can an interdisciplinary, inclusive, institutional team of agents of change shape an agenda for repurposing existing spaces to serve goals for transforming the learning experience, for ensuring interdisciplinary, inclusive spaces for learning? How can individuals and campus teams become agents of change?

These are among questions to be addressed in the upcoming LSC Roundtables, Conferences, and Webinars . We invite you to join us.

The LSC Roundtables will provide opportunities to imagine spaces that work, to shape plans for sandboxing, to outline “take-home” strategies for dissolving boundaries—for making spaces welcoming to all students and disciplines.

What questions should we be asking when planning spaces that embrace inclusivity and interdisciplinarity? What do we already know about spaces that work? agendas for action—by individuals, institutional teams, professional communities.
