INTEGRATING THE LIBERAL ARTS IN MANAGEMENT EDUCATION: DEMYSTIFYING INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM-TEACHING

Keywords: Interdisciplinary, Experiential Learning, Entrepreneurship, International

Abstract: As management scholars we know our discipline is inherently multi-disciplinary and yet we often find ourselves teaching alone in our respective silos. In this session, we will discuss the value of collaboration between management faculty and colleagues from the traditional liberal arts in developing new, innovative courses. We will share our experience team-teaching interdisciplinary undergraduate courses, while providing you an opportunity to discuss and brainstorm a new interdisciplinary course appropriate for your institution. This session will address the obstacles to developing new interdisciplinary courses as discussed in the Management Education literature and discuss strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
