This session will share art-science research outcomes and goals from the BNZ “In a Time of Change” arts-humanities-science program to open a conversation about research and evaluation methods for art-science integrative activities. As a group we will: (1) discuss objectives for environmental arts-humanities-science integration at LTER sites, (2) brainstorm the ways arts-humanities-science integration supports LTER goals and mission, (3) share methods to document impacts of arts-humanities-science integration for participants and audiences, and (4) identify ways current programs can collaborate on shared objectives, evaluation, and research. A goal of this workshop is to begin to develop collaborative relationships to co-imagine the ways LTER art-science activities can contribute to broader scholarly conversations about effective interdisciplinary collaboration, informal science learning, and environmental problem-solving capacity.
