Creating Interdisciplinarity Interdisciplinary Research and Teaching Among College and University Faculty

Interdisciplinarity, a favorite buzzword of faculty and administrators, has been appropriated to describe so many academic pursuits that it is virtually meaningless. With a writing style that is accessible, fluid, and engaging, Lisa R. Lattuca remedies this confusion with an original conceptualization of interdisciplinarity based on interviews with faculty who practice it. She creates a new definition for interdisciplinarity that focuses on the nature of the inquiry behind the work instead of the degrees of integration across disciplines.Lattuca, Lisa R. is the author of 'Creating Interdisciplinarity Interdisciplinary Research and Teaching Among College and University Faculty', published 2001 under ISBN 9780826513830 and ISBN 0826513832.
