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 - are strong modalities for transdisciplinary boundary crossing in 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 prism that can help us understand self and society, offer social critique and illumination, and powerful tools for exploring and developing knowledge in meaningful deep learning and teaching. The arts can transform individuals and community and support flourishing.

We welcome artwork especially artwork that engages in boundary crossing, arts-based social advocacy and activism, field-notes that share arts-integration teaching and community engagement, arts-based research in Social Sciences, Humanities, and STEM, blog post reflections and op-ed articles, reviews of books about STEAM and arts integration.
