Interdisciplinary Projects Emerging Naturally: Reflection from a Doctoral Student's First AAACE Conference
Cohen-Miller, Anna
Adult Learning, v23 n4 p196-200 Nov 2012
In this article, the author discusses how the 60th annual American Association for Adult and Continuing Education conference was a site for everyday informal learning, interdisciplinarity, and integrative learning and teaching. She provides examples for ways in which interdisciplinary projects can emerge naturally from a conference and argues for the need to go beyond disciplinary boundaries and move toward integrative collaborative work.
