Interdisciplinarity across the Globe

Interdisciplinarity across the Globe

WHAT: UBC researchers have interests and partnerships with people around the world. Meanwhile, more people than ever are migrating and interacting across the globe. What are the ramifications, positive or negative, of a world in motion? What can we learn when our research crosses borders?

Spark your thinking: Consider cultural communication, global migration, subjective well-being, migration growth in Asia, international relations, research partners abroad, dispute resolution, economics and trade, globalization, human rights, artistic collaborations, local-global relations

WHEN: Wednesday, February 4, 2015, 4-6pm

WHERE: Marine Drive Commonsblock, 2205 Lower Mall
