Disciplines, Unite!

            Some areas I would like to investigate further are the ones that I feel are already building momentum from my time learning in the program. Topics I am interested in exploring are found where education, Indigenous research and ways of learning, art, creativity and post humanism intersect. By using these disciplines to look at the value of arts-based learning in schools in Canada as a bridge between diverse cultural understandings without any one culture being assimilated nor less represented. A multidisciplinary approach could be used for this by examining the topic from many perspectives. An interdisciplinary approach could also be used to further look at the topic by using one discipline to explore another such as using Indigenous research methods to discover the role creativity could play in schools, or using a historical research approach to learn how arts-based teaching can bridge social divides.  
           I would also like to further explore our relationships with specific animals and landscapes through a post humanistic approach to understanding the possible sites where changes can occur. These explorations would include the disciplines of economics, politics, history, anthropology and philosophy. This exploration could be done with a transdisciplinary approach by using the many disciplines to discover solutions beyond any one discipline.

            Taking the time to reflect on the path taken is an important part of being able to continue on that path towards a space of meaning and a sense of purpose in our experiences and ways of learning.
