The Contemporary Liberal Arts at Work
Transdisciplinarity~Internationalization~Future Readiness
An Exploratory Roundtable
Date: September 13, 2022 (Tuesday) (Hong Kong Time)
Time: 17:00-18:30
Format: Zoom
In this Roundtable, leaders of integrative, cross-disciplinary, and cross-sectoral programmes will inquire into the types of variegated work that the Liberal Arts accomplish in global research-intensive universities. Focusing on transdisciplinarity, internationalization, and future readiness for both our students, for our universities, and for the planet, we will attempt to tease out articulations about how we might best re-imagine the Liberal Arts in a time of crises, constraints, and opportunities.
