Hands-on training for your team to apply practical guidance and tools

Interdisciplinary teams often bring together exceptional researchers but still struggle to work effectively or even harmoniously

This practical workshop goes beyond matching skills and research interests to explore the deeper dynamics that make teams thrive. You will examine how personalities, values, and ways of knowing interact to shape team performance and culture. Through interactive paired, individual, and group activities, you will learn approaches to building teams slowly, creatively, and safely, while developing practices that foster collaboration, compassion, and long-term success. You will also gain practical skills for creating interdisciplinary writing circles that sustain momentum and strengthen team cohesion.

What you'll walk away with

Strategies for building effective and enjoyable interdisciplinary teams.

Approaches for forming teams safely, creatively and sustainably.
