This new column features interdisciplinary connections between chemistry and areas such as art, literature, and history. Chemistry-oriented articles describing successful and innovative approaches to interdisciplinary connections will meet a need that has not been addressed previously through a feature column. The objectives for developing interdisciplinary connections are (i) to reach students who exhibit an interest in the arts and humanities but not in science and (ii) to help students who primarily are interested in science to understand that discovery and technological innovation are influenced by the culture of the time and place. Accounts of collaboration of chemistry teachers with teachers in other disciplines are especially encouraged. Approaches taken should be described in sufficient detail that readers could duplicate them, with or without modification, in their teaching situations. The results obtained from classroom implementation by the authors should be included in the manuscript.
