Paneldiscussions at conferences, in particular, are used to exchange viewpoints among expertsworking as a team, whether or not panelists agree on all issues, to create an interesting discussionfor the audience [1

relatability between the scholarand their surrounding environment. Two intersecting themes that emerged from Yadav et al.’s (2020) study are the value offamily orientation and intersectionality, unlike Crenshaw’s (1989) well-known definition ofintersectionality, which examines how U.S. structures frame identities as isolated and mutuallyexclusive resulting in the theoretical erasure of multiple minoritized identities (Crenshaw, 1989,p. 139; Carbado et al., 2013; Harris & Patton, 2019). Yadav et al.

integration ofsubjects/disciplines around relevant issues/topics—with a more recent trend of seeking transdisciplinarylearning experiences for students (Sheets, 2016; American Association for the Advancement of Science,2019). Transdisciplinary learning can be viewed as the holistic way of working equally across disciplinesto transcend their own disciplinary boundaries to form new conceptual understandings as well as developnew ways in which to address complex topics or challenges (Ertas, Maxwell, Rainey, & Tanik, 2003;Park & Son, 2010). This transdisciplinary approach can be important as humanity’s problems are nottypically discipline specific and require the convergence of competencies to lead to innovative thinkingacross fields of study
