Seminars provide opportunities for interdisciplinary education

One of our program’s goals is to provide excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary education to our students. Over 5 years we have offered 12 interdisciplinary seminars, out of which the most successful were co-taught by faculty from different departments. During Fall 2012 Bob Slevc (Psychology) and Jared Novick (Center for Advanced Study of Language) taught a seminar in language processing that catalyzed the development of several research projects among our students. During spring 2013 Hal Daumé (Computer Science), Jordan Boyd-Graber (iSchool) and Naomi Feldman (Linguistics) taught a cross-departmental computational linguistics seminar. Also, Yi Ting Huang (Hearing and Speech) and Jonathan Beier (Psychology) designed a class to explore the origins and development of human knowledge in the individual child and review in detail conceptual development within a number of different domains.
