Searching for Truth and Understanding in a World of Political Polarization

Throughout this past winter, many of you have been following the news of protests and counter-protests on college campuses about a host of issues. While activism and political engagement are important, much of what we have seen lately underscores the deep political polarization that now exists in the United States. It also throws into stark relief our current inability to engage in the type of meaningful dialogue that might lead to understanding rather than vilification and further strife.

The world is interdisciplinary. School should be, too.

Teaching an interdisciplinary curriculum means we educators need to think of ourselves differently, as well. Our role changes from one of an expert who pours knowledge into the students to that of a co-learner, curator, and guide — someone who helps them on their journey to understand the complexity of the world and become a lifelong learner.
