We strive for Nexus to address important themes that reach across disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies. Please see details from past conferences below.
Nexus 2023: Co-creating Knowledge
Nexus 2022: “Be well-Excel”
Disrupt the ordinary by showcasing and celebrating the broad meaning of well-being in interdisciplinary research and education in NEXUS 2022.
Nexus 2021
Cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Nexus 2020: Scholarship in Action
By working across disciplines and engaging in public scholarship, researchers can lean in to complex problems, creatively work across disciplines, and act out in networks and channels beyond the university to make changes.
Nexus 2019: wicked Problems and Interdisciplinary Solutions
Wicked problems cannot be solved. Incomplete, contradictory, or evolving information makes it impossible to address an issue. Without being able to tease apart independent issues, complex problems require multifaceted ideas. So, where do we start?
Nexus 2018: Responsibility
Critical perspectives on understanding responsibility for each other, for the planet, for our research, for UBC, and beyond.
Nexus 2017: Resilience
The theme of the conference this year is “resilience.” Many in the ISGP are currently pursuing research which touches on resilience in many different ways: the resilience of individuals, the resilience of communities and the resilience of the environment.
