Lively discussions about what works--and what doesn’t--in combining methods from different disciplines in order to investigate cities and urban life was the focus of this symposium. What makes for an effective team-taught, cross-disciplinary course? Does creative practice constitute rigorous research? This symposium dug into five years of work in the GUH Initiative and wasof interest to scholars engaged in interdisciplinary teaching and research. It was a great chance for folks who have been involved in one part of the Global Urban Humanities Initiative to learn about the other parts of the elephant.
