Announcing a four day Transdisciplinary Workshop: Resilient Thinking Laboratory.

Resilient Thinking is a non-linear problem-solving process rooted in ecology that begins with empathy-seeking, surfaces the real vulnerabilities, and solves them collaboratively. This workshop explores the concept of Transdisciplinary Epistemics Practices, their potential to revolutionize STEAM education, to enhance 21st-century skills and the mindsets to thrive with agility in a world we do not yet know. For PhD students in art, architecture, urbanism, transportation, environmental studies, ecology, geography, anthropology, philosophy, design, and related disciplines – with a focus on the urban environment.
