Society faces unprecedented challenges due to environmental change. Addressing the grand challenges of our time will require a synthesis of multiple perspectives, including science, arts, and the humanities. These fields share a common aim of exposing hidden truths about a complex world. This workshop will bring together individual artists, scientists, philosophers, historians, social scientists, representatives from funding agencies in the arts, humanities and sciences, and institutions with significant histories and perspectives on integration across these areas. In combination, this cross-disciplinary group can foster empathy, increase openness to science, and empower society to access multiple sources of information as critical decisions are made related to land and resource management, conservation, and societal health. A compilation of resources currently available to encourage integration across these disciplines will be made publicly available, and workshop activities will be posted on the Field Stations and Marine Laboratories art blog. Finally, this intellectual collaboration will broaden participation in scientific arenas in unparalleled ways.The aim of this workshop is to expand the depth and breadth of interdisciplinary efforts in which arts and humanities contribute to fundamental inquiry and analyses of the grand challenges facing social-environmental systems. Synthesizing perspectives on social-environmental challenges in the context of place-based and problem-focused research promises progress in solving problems that cannot be achieved by separate disciplines working in relative isolation. The arts and humanities, and the numerous subdisciplines included in these generalized disciplinary headings, will offer a productive source of ideas and approaches to the grand challenges of this era. The workshop is risky; many of the proposed participants have never worked together before. A strategic agenda will guide the 3-day workshop and clear goals are identified. These include the outlines of a common research agenda, a roadmap for future activities to achieve this agenda, and co-authorship of manuscripts. The workshop will be held at the Nevada Museum of Art - Center for Art and the Environment and attended by 25-30 individuals who will chart a new frontier that directly implements the Memorandum of Understanding recently signed by the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

由于环境变化，社会面临着前所未有的挑战。 应对我们这个时代的巨大挑战将需要综合多种观点，包括科学，艺术和人文科学。这些领域有一个共同的目的，即揭露关于复杂世界的隐藏真理。这个研讨会将召集个人艺术家，科学家，哲学家，历史学家，社会科学家，资助机构的代表，艺术，人文和科学机构，以及具有重要历史和观点的机构，这些地区遍布这些领域的整合。结合起来，这个跨学科的小组可以促进同理心，增加对科学的开放性，并使社会能够获取多个信息来源，因为做出了与土地和资源管理，保护和社会健康有关的关键决策。 目前可以公开提供这些学科整合的资源汇编，并将在现场站和海洋实验室艺术博客上发布研讨会活动。最后，这种智力合作将以无与伦比的方式扩大对科学领域的参与。该研讨会的目的是扩大跨学科努力的深度和广度，其中艺术和人文科学对社会环境系统面临的宏伟挑战做出了巨大挑战，在这些跨学科工作中。在基于地方和以问题为中心的研究的背景下，对社会环境挑战的综合观点有望在解决问题方面的进展，而这些问题无法通过相对隔离的单独学科来实现。艺术和人文科学以及这些广义学科标题中包括的众多子学科将为这一时代的巨大挑战提供富有成效的思想和方法。研讨会是有风险的；许多拟议的参与者从未一起工作。战略议程将指导为期3天的研讨会，并确定明确的目标。其中包括一个共同研究议程的概述，未来活动的路线图以及手稿的共同作者。 该研讨会将在内华达艺术博物馆举行 - 艺术与环境中心，并由25-30个人参加，他们将绘制一个新的边界，直接由国家科学基金会，国家艺术捐赠基金会和国家人文基金会签署的新谅解备忘录。
