Combining Two Cultures Conference
The Combining Two Cultures (C2C) Conference is an interdisciplinary conference established by McMaster University Arts & Science students in 2009 to improve interdisciplinary education through collaboration. The student-led conference has focused on the value of interdisciplinary education in academia and for the undergraduate student. The conference has brought together participants from Canada’s leading interdisciplinary programs to establish a network that lends support to the enduring value and significance of the interdisciplinary education.
This year the conference is being hosted by Knowledge Integration (KI) students at the University of Waterloo, who have chosen the theme of “Boundaries” as a catalyst for discussion and creative problem solving in a systems context. In the KI program, students build a core skill set to analyze and solve complex problems, communicate effectively, and to adapt to a changing and complex world. In the design of this iteration of the conference, the C2C Planning Committee has worked to incorporate programming that will cultivate these skills in other interdisciplinary students.
