ABSTRACT
In recent years, Trans-Disciplinarity (TD) has become increasingly recognized as a critical concept in contemporary scholarship and practice, especially in the emerging field of the metaverse. Despite its growing importance, however, the precise origins and meanings of the term remain somewhat elusive, and its relationship to systems thinking is still poorly understood. Consequently, further research is needed to clarify the definition and application of transdisciplinarity and explore its connections with related concepts such as systems thinking. By doing so, we can gain a broader understanding of how transdisciplinary approaches can be used to address complex problems in a variety of contexts and how they can contribute to advancing knowledge and innovation across disciplinary boundaries.

Keywords: Trans-disciplinary communication, digital age, metaverses, systems thinking, ChatGPT, transformative technologies.

Dr. Jasmin (Bey) Cowin, an Associate Professor at Touro University, received the 2024 Touro University CETL Faculty Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching and the Rockefeller Institute of Government awarded her the prestigious Richard P. Nathan Public Policy Fellowship (2024-2025). As a Fulbright Scholar and SIT Graduate, she was selected to be a U.S. Department of State English Language Specialist. Her expertise in AI in education is underscored by her role as an AI trainer and former Education Policy Fellow (EPFP™) at Columbia University's Teachers College. As a columnist for Stankevicius, she explores Nicomachean Ethics at the intersection of AI and education. She has contributed to initiatives like Computers for Schools Burundi, served as a resource specialist for Amity University in Uttar Pradesh, India, and participated in TESOL "Train the Trainer" programs in Yemen and Morocco. Her research interests include simulations and metaverse for educators-in-training, AI applications in education and language acquisition and teaching, and distributed ledger technologies, with a focus on her 'Education for 2060' theme. In conclusion, my commitment extends beyond transactional interactions, focusing instead on utilizing my skills and privileges to make a positive, enduring impact on the world.
