Transmission in Motion

Next up in our seminar series &quot;Knowledge in Making - Design by Doing&quot; is a presentation by SILT (Subjects in Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching), consisting of Ilona Domen, Merel van Goch, Anastasia Hacopian, Anne Kustritz, Rianne van Lambalgen, Toine Minnaert, Florentine Sterk, Iris van der Tuin and Roosmarijn van Woerden (Utrecht University).Serendipity is a much-discussed theme in and around current-day academia. Do interdisciplinary encounters foster serendipitous connections and insights? Is interdisciplinarity itself boosted by serendipity? Do serendipitous discoveries take flight in the algorithmic condition or do they fall flat? Does researching, teaching, and learning online kill the creativity of serendipitous encounters? In this session of the TiM seminar, we focus on the epistemological paradox of serendipity per se, namely the fact that quite some knowledge and insight is needed in order for a scholar or a student to recognize something as a serendipitous discovery or encounter (Darbellay et al. 2014). For this reason, we will focus on the phenomenon of “Designing for Serendipity”. How can this be done? Can this be done at all? Together we will explore several types of designs, each of them aiming at facilitating serendipity. Participants will be encouraged to test and reflect on the designs as well.
