Applied Collaborative Problem-Solving: Philosophical Considerations

Team-based transdisciplinary problem-solving addressing a variety of issues, from those in the local community to national and global challenges. The course seeks to address the many stakeholders, assumptions, and values that shape how we evaluate and resolve disagreements, showing students the positive value philosophy brings in supporting transdisciplinary problem-solving. The community issues addressed will change from year to year, in connection with the theme of the D.B. Reinhart Ethics Institute Conference and/or in response to emerging community needs and current events. Students will apply knowledge from studies in their two declared disciplines to the problem. PMI
