The traditional boundaries between humanities and sciences are increasingly blurred in contemporary education, necessitating innovative approaches to teaching and learning. This roundtable aims to delve into the transformative potential of interdisciplinary education. We seek to explore the dynamic intersections between social sciences and various scientific disciplines, including, but not limited to engineering, architecture, chemistry, material culture, economics, design and physics. Our focus is on how these fields can be cohesively introduced within a humanities framework, enriching the educational landscape and fostering a more holistic understanding of human knowledge and culture.

Through a series of presentations and discussions, we will highlight pioneering teaching experiences and practices that transcend traditional academic boundaries. Participants will share case studies, curricula designs, and pedagogical strategies that exemplify the integration of scientific principles, methodologies and subjects into humanities courses. These contributions will demonstrate how interdisciplinary approaches can cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in students, preparing them for the complexities of the modern world.

By fostering dialogue among educators, researchers, and practitioners from diverse fields, this panel aims to generate new insights and collaborative opportunities between academia and diverse industries. We will address the challenges and opportunities inherent in interdisciplinary teaching, including institutional support, curriculum development, and assessment methods. Ultimately, this roundtable aspires to redefine the scope and impact of humanities education, advocating for a more inclusive and interconnected academic environment that reflects the realities of contemporary knowledge production and application.
