The OSUN听听welcomes Doug Haynes for a 90-minute, online discussion of his recent Times Higher Education article on听听Haynes argues for a post-disciplinary, experiential student experience as one that prepares graduates to competitively enter the labor market and be at the ready to address the biggest challenges facing humankind. To this end, he and colleagues at the University of Sussex have introduced 鈥渁n interdisciplinary, even post-disciplinary, approach to study the fundamental challenges faced by society,鈥� including:
Core 鈥済lobal humanities鈥� modules [which] directly address big and complex issues uncontainable in a single discipline, bringing together colleagues from across the arts and social sciences to offer multiple perspectives on climate change, globalisation, automation, 'culture wars,' inequality, populism and migration. A parallel set of core modules teaches students complementary practice-based skills, via projects including video-making, critical art practice, acoustic ecology, psychogeography, interventions in museums, citizens鈥� assemblies, think tank policy-making and strategic communications campaigns 鈥� almost always in partnership with our multi-sector advisory board. The final year is a supported but independent project in the community.
Haynes will share his experiences as a reader in American literature and visual culture at the University of Sussex, noting the problems he observes with LAS education in the UK and what actions faculty at his institution are taking to address these. He will facilitate audience discussion of global perspectives around experience with and aspirations for interdisciplinary - or even post-disciplinary - teaching and learning in LAS education.
