In partnership with Howard University's College of Arts & Sciences and the National Humanities Center, this conference will convene scholars, educators, and thought leaders to explore how to combine the Humanities and STEM fields to produce ground-breaking research, creative teaching methods, and solutions that have a social impact. Over the course of five days, you will have the opportunity to delve deeply into new research trends, explore cutting-edge teaching techniques, and learn effective methods for financing interdisciplinary collaborations.
