Description
Creating Interdisciplinary Campus Cultures is a comprehensive analysis of how American colleges and universities are adopting interdisciplinarity in their research, teaching, and governance. Julie Thompson Klein examines the trends, historical patterns, and practical advice needed to bring together ambitious goals for interdisciplinary vitality with institutional systems.
The book provides valuable insights into the challenges of implementing interdisciplinarity, including program review, faculty development, tenure and promotion, hiring, and the political economy of interdisciplinarity. Klein's analysis shows convincingly that interdisciplinarity is now prevalent throughout American colleges and universities.
With its focus on practical advice and real-world applications, this book offers a valuable resource for institutions looking to move beyond rhetoric and achieve pervasive full interdisciplinarity. By understanding the challenges and opportunities of interdisciplinary collaboration, readers can help their institutions thrive in the new millennium.
