Montclair’s Interdisciplinary Showcase To Highlight Innovation and Collaboration Across Campus

Faculty and students from across the University will come together on November 20 for the Interdisciplinary Showcase, an event celebrating innovative scholarship, creative projects, and student collaborations that exemplify the theme of Social Transformation. The showcase will explore how meaningful changes in our social landscapes can emerge through our work, ideas, and actions, from the individual and community level to the societal and global scale.

The showcase features 13 presentations spanning the humanities, social sciences, education, business, and STEM. Projects include accessible audio description for Spanish-speaking audiences, digital mapping of climate justice, narrative medicine collaborations, sustainability internships, multilingual literacy initiatives, and Indigenous-centered approaches to education and justice.

Each project highlights how interdisciplinary collaboration fosters new insights, community partnerships, and real-world impact. From community-engaged research to program design and creative pedagogy, the presentations demonstrate how scholars and students are expanding the boundaries of traditional disciplines to address complex challenges.

The Interdisciplinary Showcase invites colleagues from across the university to explore ideas, connect with peers, and spark new collaborations that advance Montclair’s mission of inclusive innovation.

Light refreshments will be served.
