Judith McKay, J.D., Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the Department of Multidisciplinary Studies (DMS) in the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS), gave a presentation at the Association for Integrative Studies Annual Conference hosted by San Diego State University in San Diego, Calif., on Oct. 7-10. This year’s conference theme was: “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Integrating Ethics and Sustainability.”
McKay’s presentation was entitled: “Interdisciplinary Approaches to Community Development and Sustainability through Social Capital and Social Entrepreneurs.” The session provided a review of the impact of changing demographic trends in South Florida, including the challenges of new cultures, emerging new local identities, and the need for interdisciplinary approaches to address limited resources, generate social capital, and explore opportunities for social entrepreneurs.
