Our teaching is strongly committed to cultivating cross-disciplinary student cohorts and ensuring cross-domain exchanges towards solving global challenges. Leonelli spent fifteen years leading cross-faculty teaching programmes at the University of Exeter, engaging students from philosophy, social science, history, biology, computer engineering, mathematics, medical research and environmental science; building on that experience, all the modules offered by the group can be tailored either to students of a specific school or to a wide-ranging audience across schools and fields of application. Moreover, out teaching is committed to mixing theoretical insights with hands-on experiences of the problems and questions we are confronting. Many of our modules achieve this through ‘clinics’ that enable students and staff to collaborate with relevant social groups in need of advice, for instance with regards to data governance or public engagement around scientific and technological concerns. Transdisciplinarity begings with research-led teaching, and this is what our group aims for in our approach to pedagogy and partnerships.
