Tóm tắt
The national conversation regarding the future of liberal arts education often fixates on a false dichotomy between the humanities and STEM fields; thus, the time seems right to reimagine a framework in which the humanities, social sciences and STEM fields work in synergy to not only prepare students for creative engagement with the complex and challenging problems facing our world, but also for the active creation of the new realities that they have imagined as possible. In this paper, we describe the origins and progress to date of a pilot cross-campus initiative in Design Thinking and the Liberal Arts at Smith College, an all women's residential liberal arts college in Northampton, MA. In addition, we share insights from our experiences to assist those at other institutions who might be interested in engaging in similar kinds of endeavors. © 2016 TEMPUS Publications.
