In this Address the Desk event, Dr. David Stovall and Dr. Nicole Nguyen will talk about what it means to transcend a scholarly discipline by living in multiple scholarship traditions and collaborating beyond the department unit. They will have a conversation about what this kind of work looks like, how the research community should honor and support it, and why it is important for developing thought and building community toward solving social issues. This event will be held in person in ETMSW Rm 3427, with a virtual option at https://uic.zoom.us/j/89937907356?pwd=T1hFb0UyWGJvRTV2Tm5ZRTRsYm43QT09
