About the Book

Championing an emerging global community of scholars, this Handbook provides a detailed examination on how to successfully integrate interdisciplinarity into education programs. A comprehensive look into the current landscape of the field, it emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary teaching and administration in the development of creativity, citizenship and information literacy. Addressing the philosophy of interdisciplinarity and its relationship to learning theory, this Handbook examines issues of curriculum, course design and pedagogy. This practical approach is built upon in subsequent chapters on the diversity of interdisciplinary teaching, specifically in study abroad programs, hybrid structures, and graduate contexts. Ultimately, experts discuss the challenges of introducing interdisciplinary pedagogy into a largely disciplinary teaching environment, and provide step-by-step advice on how to develop truly innovative, integrative education within existing university structures. This accessible Handbook is an invaluable resource for both new and seasoned instructors of interdisciplinary studies. It will also appeal to students and scholars of political science, sociology, economics, and education policy.

Review :
‘This attractive Handbook includes an international set of contributions that present a broad overview of the latest thinking and practices about interdisciplinary teaching. It documents major advances while reminding us of the challenges that interdisciplinarians often confront because academia is still commonly subdivided by administrative and institutional boundaries that are obstacles for effective collaboration.’ ‘Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is becoming an increasingly important and crucial component of academia because it helps the next generation in addressing the complex problems of our times. Yet since universities and programs are largely organized along disciplinary boundaries, interdisciplinarity presents teachers and administrators with multiple challenges – challenges that also tend to differ from context to context. This unique and comprehensive collection addresses a wide range of topics, providing insights and examples from seasoned experts with different backgrounds and nationalities. As such it will be a helpful resource for anyone engaging with interdisciplinary teaching and learning, and their administration.’
