Prof. Tom Groleau publishes article in geography journal
, chair of the Professor Thomas GroleauManagement and Marketing Department, and Julio Rivera, Yersin professor of applied analytics at Carroll University, recently published a paper, “Student and faculty transformations from teaching wicked geography problems: a journey of transdisciplinary teaching between business and geography,” in the Journal of Geography in Higher Education.
The paper explores the dissolution of academic silos between geography and business faculty who formed a teaching partnership to explore similar course goals across a range of data-oriented questions. This work led to changes in teaching methods and the development of Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURES). Many of these projects resulted in student presentations at external conferences.
