<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 14px; ">What if universities required their teachers to demonstrate the same breadth demanded of students? Imagine two professors from departments as different as Mathematics and English pairing
up to teach a joint course. Infused with theatrical energy, Suri and Osherow share their experiences doing precisely this co-teaching a seminar that combined their seemingly incompatible disciplines. In a multimedia presentation incorporating a range of voices
and perspectives, these unlikely collaborators struggle with dueling loyalties, suspicious colleagues, nonplussed students and questioning outsiders. The two will explore topics braved in and beyond their classroom as they moved outside their comfort zones
to negotiate common ground between mathematics and the humanities.</span></div>
