Short Abstract

This panel invites participants to reflect on academic practice in an increasingly complex world. Through shared experiences, we’ll explore how collaborative, interdisciplinary research can foster a more connected, inclusive, and impactful academic community.

Description

I would like to dedicate this panel as an opportunity for us to pause and reflect deeply on our research practices and what it truly means to be an academic in today’s world. In an era marked by increasing complexity and global challenges, the traditional silos that once separated disciplines are no longer sustainable. We can no longer afford the luxury of building walls between fields of inquiry; doing so only hampers our ability to collaborate effectively and address the multifaceted issues facing society. This space is intended not just for introspection, but also for sharing insights and experiences that highlight exemplary models of collaborative and interdisciplinary research. By fostering open dialogue and mutual learning, we can begin to reimagine academic work as a collective endeavour—one that prioritizes cooperation over competition and seeks to create knowledge that is both impactful and inclusive. Let us use this moment to envision a more connected and compassionate academic community, where collaboration is not the exception but the norm.
