Interdisciplinarity has become as important outside academia as
within. Academics, policy makers, and the general public seek
insights to help organize the vast amounts of knowledge being
produced, both within research and at all levels of education. The
second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity offers
a thorough update of this major reference work, summarizing the
latest advances within the field of inter- and transdisciplinarity.
The collection is distinguished by its breadth of coverage, with
chapters written by leading experts from multiple networks and
organizations. The volume is edited by respected interdisciplinary
scholars and supported by a prestigious advisory board to ensure
the highest quality and breadth of coverage. The Oxford Handbook of
Interdisciplinarity provides a synoptic overview of the current
state of interdisciplinary research, education, administration and
management, and of problem solving-knowledge that spans the
disciplines and interdisciplinary fields. The volume negotiates the
space between the academic community and society at large. Offering
the most broad-based account of inter- and transdisciplinarity to
date, its 47 chapters provide a snapshot of the state of knowledge
integration as interdisciplinarity approaches its century mark.
This second edition expands its coverage to discuss the emergence
of new fields, the increase of interdisciplinary approaches within
traditional disciplines and professions, new integrative approaches
to education and training, the widening international presence of
interdisciplinarity, its increased support in funding agencies and
science-policy bodies, and the formation of several new
international associations associated with interdisciplinarity.
This reference book will be a valuable addition to academic
libraries worldwide, important reading for members of the sciences,
social sciences, and humanities engaged in interdisciplinary
research and education, and helpful for administrators and policy
makers seeking to improve the use of knowledge in society.
