Outside the Lines: Issues in Interdisciplinary Research Reviews

Outside the Lines: Issues in Interdisciplinary Research





Starting from the premise that interdisciplinarity plays a role in the research community, this text explores the nature and practice of interdisciplinary research. Contributors to this collection address the ways in which interdisciplinarity is defined, positioned, and handled by researchers, universities and critics. They also examine such topics as "myths" of interdisciplinarity, postmodern critiques of interdisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and research grant allocation, women's studies, environmental studies and "emerging" disciplines. The collection combines a theoretical examination of disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity as forms of knowledge production and organization with practical information about the basic difficulties and conundrums involved in the practice of interdisciplinary research.
