‘Mellon Mashup’ directly confronts these issues in a rapid-fire two-part conversation that begins with a group of visiting scholars who have labored successfully in transdisciplinary borderlands, offering reflections on their project: what worked? what didn’t? what lessons can be offered? Session 1 features a group of visiting scholars who labored successfully to produce a transdisciplinary edited volume called GeoHumanities: Art, History, Text at the Edge of Place. The editors reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what lessons came out of their project Session 2 assembles a group of innovative Cal-based scholars who consider how these lessons and their own experiences inform the Global Urban Humanities’ adventures in transdisciplinary worlds. Following this, a group of Cal-based scholars consider how these experiences could inform the Global Urban Humanities’ own Adventures in Transdisciplinary Worlds. Graduate students from the class on “The City and its Moving Images: Urban Theory / Media Theory” attended.
