Conference presentation:
Pop culture as pedagogy: Mindhunter as a Tool for Interdisciplinary Education

The interdisciplinary practice of integration is hard to teach. How do you translate common ground, the application of techniques, or the achievement of a more comprehensive understanding for the classroom context? Champions of interdisciplinary studies argue that an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving has never been more relevant for the world beyond the university. Popular culture can also offer concrete examples of complex situations and interdisciplinary solutions.The Netflix series “Mindhunter” is an accessible tool for teaching students about the fruits of finding common ground. This application of popular culture bridges the space between the textbook and the student’s frame of reference while demonstrating the relevance of interdisciplinary theory and practice.
