INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR EXAMPLES OF INTER-DISCIPLINARY
ART-SCIENCE-ENGINEERING-HUMANITIES CURRICULA

Leonardo Executive Editor Roger Malina and UT Dallas doctoral student
Kathryn Evans are interested in examples of courses and curricula that
are in the art-science-humanities field such as courses on art and
biology, music and mathematics, art and chemistry, dance and
environmental sciences, etc.

Our current compendium of art science courses is available at:

http://www.utdallas.edu/atec/cdash/


The resulting updated compendium of courses will be included in a SEAD
White Paper (Breaking Down the Silos: Curriculum Development as a Tool
for Crossing Disciplines in the Arts, Sciences and Humanities) that
is being developed in response to the international call for SEAD
White Papers issued by the network for Science Engineering Art and
Design ( http://sead.viz.tamu.edu/index.html ) .

The White Paper is being developed with an international advisory
group consisting of Paul Thomas (Australia), Edward Shanken
(Netherlands), and Christo Doherty (South Africa). Other educators
interested in collaborating to develop these resources should contact
Kathryn Evans kcevans@utdallas.edu .

We are interested in the broad range of all forms of the performing
arts, including music, dance, theatre and film, and the visual arts;
and connecting to all the hard and social sciences. We are including
art and new technologies (eg: nano tech) but in general not new media
curricula unless they include an art-science component, or art and
engineering.

Individuals who have taught an art-science-humanities course at the
university or secondary-school level, in formal or informal settings,
are invited to contact Kathryn Evans, with details of their
curriculum, at kcevans@utdallas.edu. Please include permission to
include your course on the Curriculum Development in the Arts,
Sciences and Humanities (CDASH) website
http://www.utdallas.edu/atec/cdash/, the level of the course
(undergraduate vs. graduate), the course number and title, and the
department(s) in which the course was offered.

This initiative is also part of the Art-Science Cloud Curriculum
initiative led by Paul Thomas that will be discussed in a number of
forthcoming Leonard Art and Education Forum workshops beginning in
Copenhagen
