About this episode
The episode discusses how educators use interdisciplinary strategies to foster inclusive learning and community engagement.
In this episode of CAA Conversations, Feixue Mei, Yanbin Li, and Eric Millikin explore how educators break down disciplinary barriers through collaborative teaching, community-engaged practice, and inclusive learning environments. Through discussion of interdisciplinary teaching framework, examples of cross-disciplinary classroom collaborations, and projects such as culturally grounded Tarot-card design and the Boundless Bound Symposium and Art Book Fair, the conversation highlights how students learn to translate concepts across fields, reflect on cultural and social contexts, and develop critical, creative, and adaptive problem-solving skills. The guests emphasize how shared learning spaces, low-barrier activities, and thoughtfully integrated technologies support meaningful participation, foster curiosity and dialogue, and empower students to connect theory with practice across diverse disciplines and communities.
