Dr. Jorge Luis Morejon participated in the 3rd Barbados International Conference on Higher Education and Human Resources Development, which took place from October 21 – 24, 2012 in the Hilton Hotel at St. Michael, Barbados. The title of his paper was Changing Higher Education Paradigms: Crafting New Multidisciplinary Educational Programs and Policies. Dr. Morejon had the pleasure of sharing his paper with a numerous audience of educators from different fields of study who for the first time were faced with the benefits of the arts as catalyst in the acquisition of technological and scientific knowledge. The presentation was part of an attempt to develop Higher Education research in the area of the arts. In his study he considered the implementation of the arts across Higher Education curricula as a way to improve Higher Education pedagogy, communication between fields of study and professional environments, quality of multidisciplinary education and cognitive as well as embodied learning structures.
