The world today presents us with many complex challenges, such as dealing with a pandemic. The solutions to these challenges are not easily found through the lens of single scholarly disciplines. Increasingly, problem-solving in a complex world requires approaches that bring two or more disciplinary perspectives into communication (inter- and multi-disciplinarity) and, in some cases, even requires than disciplinary boundaries be transcended to generate novel approaches (trans-disciplinarity). In this workshop, Victoria Lemieux will discuss how she and her colleagues at Blockchain@UBC have developed and are using a unique “Three Layer Model” to bring students from different disciplinary perspectives into conversation surrounding blockchain solution design challenges to generate deeper cross disciplinary understanding and novel design insights.
Victoria L. Lemieux is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia School of Information.

In 2016, Dr. Lemieux founded, Blockchain@UBC’s multidisciplinary blockchain research cluster and in 2019 NSERC awarded her $1.6M to train up to 139 masters and PhD students from multiple disciplines in blockchain and distributed ledger technology over the next five years. Dr. Lemieux has won several awards for her research and contributions to the field of archives and records management, including a 2020 Global Blockchain Revolution Award for Blockchain Ecosystem Leadership.

In this presentation, Dorit Naaman will address data management through emergent research-creation methods in the settings of contested territory and traumatic histories. It will describe Naaman’s interactive documentary project, Jerusalem, We Are Here (2016), which was built on, and continues to generate, a dynamic archive of ephemera and stories about homes in West Jerusalem by the Palestinian families who were displaced from them during the 1948 war. This work presents the ethical challenges inherent in participatory projects that result in sensitive data alongside expectations for widespread public dissemination.
Dorit Naaman is an award-winning documentarist and film theorist. Naaman is an Israeli-Canadian professor of Film and Media at Queen’s University. She is the director of Jerusalem, We Are Here, an interactive documentary that digitally re-inscribes Palestinians into the Jerusalem neighborhoods from which they were expelled by the 1948 war. Dr. Naaman publishes texts on media and Palestinian/Israeli politics, especially the representation of gender and ethnicity in relationship to nationalism. Genre
