Undisciplined Conversations is a dynamic space for transdisciplinary dialogues bridging the arts, education, and beyond. Organized by the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy in collaboration with the Asian Library, this series fosters vibrant ecosystems of learning together by inviting scholars and practitioners to share diverse perspectives. These informal conversations encourage co-creation beyond our immediate disciplines and academic environments, enriching our educational discourses.

For our February event, we are excited to host Shirin Eshghi Furuzawa, Jennifer Douglas, Claire Malek, distinguished scholars, practitioners and researchers whose work explores the intersections of archives, libraries, and cultural representation. Together, they will share their expertise and research on how values are translated into knowledge, research practices, and archival production.

This conversation will illuminate how libraries and archives serve as critical spaces for identity construction, representation, and the preservation of cultural histories. Through their insights, we’ll engage with questions about the ethical dimensions of knowledge production and the ways in which these practices transcend traditional academic boundaries to foster creativity.

To join us for this NABER (Network of Arts-Based Educational Researchers) event, please drop in on Monday, February 3rd, at 12:00 PM. PST
