Universal Interdisciplinarity

Simple and complicated, interdisciplinarity can be intimidating. But it is everywhere-in academia and in the world-and it is shaping our present and future in important ways. This book aims to introduce all students or prospective students (or life-long learners) to the basic definitions of interdisciplinarity as well as some of the bigger ideas that bring meaning and purpose to the study and practice of interdisciplinarity-in academia and beyond. Practical and Idealistic, instructional and inspirational, Universal Interdisciplinarity provides a starting point-or an intervention-for a diverse range of interdisciplinary students.
