"Translational Skills and Interdisciplinary Education"

Students with solid training in inter- and transdisciplinary programmes, tracks, or minors emerge as “integration experts” and bridge-builders between different academic communities, science, and society (Bammer 2020 et al.; Hoffman et al. 2020). During this session, we will collectively explore the more modest hypothesis of such students becoming also, or in part, “translation experts”. One possible road for students to become translation experts is through exposure to productive misunderstandings, i.e., by using such misunderstandings as discursive spaces generative of connective and integrative dialogue. The translation expert works across disciplinary divides and is interculturally sensitive. The question remains, however, of how to teach translational expertise when such expertise varies among the teachers who, themselves, are not translation experts. By visiting a set of cases of translation that are relevant to the TiM community, we will both reflect on translation expertise per se and strengthen our own translational/integrative muscles. These cases question the “inter” of interdisciplinary, human-computer interaction, and interspecies communication; the “trans” of transdisciplinarity; and learning from bad translations (like learning from errors).Suggested reading <ul><li>Gabriele Bammer et al.
