Interdisciplinarity has become a buzzword in academia, as research
universities funnel their financial resources toward collaborations
between faculty in different disciplines. In theory,
interdisciplinary collaboration breaks down artificial divisions
between different departments, allowing more innovative and
sophisticated research to flourish. But does it actually work this
way in practice? Â Â Investigating Interdisciplinary
Collaboration puts the common beliefs about such research to the
test, using empirical data gathered by scholars from the United
States, Canada, and Great Britain. The book’s contributors
critically interrogate the assumptions underlying the fervor for
interdisciplinarity. Their attentive scholarship reveals how, for
all its potential benefits, interdisciplinary collaboration is
neither immune to academia’s status hierarchies, nor a simple
antidote to the alleged shortcomings of disciplinary study.Â
