<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; ">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><o:p></o:p></div>
