The MA in Transdisciplinary Analysis is a degree program for shaping positive change. When you take on a transdisciplinary challenge, you expand your imagination and creativity to build positive futures. You become the person who makes sustainable change, transforms institutions, and scales solutions for the greater good. You learn to “unstick” dilemmas, so crises become opportunities.
-
- Cross Boundaries: Encounter, exchange, and work across disciplines, beyond academia, with different stakeholders. Integrate diverse knowledge.
- Collaborate to Create: Work with peers and with community partners to unstick complex issues and explore creative opportunities.
- Disrupt to Build: Challenge, redesign, and transform current systems to build solutions for positive impact.
- Design for Justice: Create approaches that are responsive, future-focused, and justice-oriented.
When our creativity engages complexity, when our disruption becomes design, and when our passion integrates purpose, our solutions matter. Our work transforms.
