Three Skidmore faculty members who have forged creative interdisciplinary careers will describe the interests and passions that have driven them to cross boundaries and reflect on the challenges and rewards of doing so. They are:
*Flip Phillips, professor of psychology and director of the College’s neuroscience program.
*Heather Hurst, assistant professor of anthropology.
*Anthony Holland, associate professor of music, director of the College’s electronic music facilities, and conductor of the Skidmore orchestra.
A recorded TED Talk --
