This book responds to challenging questions about curricular realignment, especially how a more porous approach to higher education reduces the impact of a "siloed" curriculum, lessens the tendency toward the fragmentation of knowledge, allows for the development of cross-disciplinary explorations, and promotes new approaches to knowledge and creativity through interdisciplinary integrative learning. This volume demonstrates how combining two seemingly disparate cultures helps undergraduate students develop creative mindsets needed for addressing challenging open-ended questions, complex social issues, and non-routine problem-solving. In doing so, this book aims to stimulate discussions about integrative interdisciplinary education between STEM and other fields of performance and performance technologies that have been either overlooked or underdeveloped.
Nancy Kindelan is Professor Emerita of Theatre at Northeastern University, Boston, USA, where she taught numerous interdisciplinary courses, honors courses, performance classes, and script analysis and directed plays. Her books include Shadows of Realism: Dramaturgy and the Theories and Practices of Modernism (1996) and Artistic Literacy: Theatre Studies and a Contemporary Liberal Education, which received a Special Honorable Mention for the Outstanding Book Award from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education in 2013. She is the founding editor of the Palgrave Macmillan book series The Arts in Higher Education.
