At Lang, science, math, and social justice come together in distinctive ways by exploring issues of health, environment, and equity. Courses offered by the Interdisciplinary Science program embrace the concept of planetary health — to safeguard human health, we need to protect the planet's health on which we depend. Principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and social justice center our courses.
Please join the Interdisciplinary Science Information Session to learn about our course offerings, our approach to science and math, and how science, in concert with other disciplinary perspectives, can help shape your personal, professional, and activist work.
We will also hear from two alumni of the Interdisciplinary Science program, Nayaab Khawar (MS in Executive Epidemiology) (Lang 2012 video bio) who is working as a Program Manager of an NIH funded translational research study at Rockefeller University, with a strong focus on participant and community engagement in clinical trials, and Rylin Ives (2020) who is working as a member of the United Health Group's Track and Trace Corp. to fight the spread of COVID-19 . They will talk about their Lang experiences and how these shaped their professional paths.
Eugene Lang College is committed to ensuring that our programs are accessible to and inclusive of all. Please let us know when registering if you need any additional accommodations.
