Welcome to The Transdisciplinary STEAM+ Journal, a transdisciplinary, global, theory-practice, open access, online journal that invites artists, researchers, educators, arts-based community organizers and activists, students and young voices who integrate the arts in their work.

We expand STEAM (Arts in STEM) to include arts integration in social sciences, humanities, and community-engaged work. The arts - in all its forms and modalities - bring transdisciplinary boundary crossing processes and mindsets for research, education, and practice. Through the arts, we engage in sense-making, discovery, learning, contemplation, and transformative work for positive social impact and flourishing. The arts are a refractive prism to understand self and society, as social critique and illumination, for exploring and developing knowledge, in meaningful deep learning and teaching, and critical in transforming individuals and community toward flourishing.

We welcome artwork, arts-based social advocacy and activism, arts-based research in Social Sciences, Humanities, and STEM, blog post reflections and op-ed articles, reviews of books about STEAM and arts integration, and arts-integration lesson plans.
