In Defense of Disciplines - Interdisciplinarity and Specialization in the Research University

About the author

Summary

Challenging the belief that blurring the boundaries between traditional academic fields promotes more integrated research and effective teaching, the author contends that the promise of interdisciplinarity is illusory and that critiques of established disciplines are often overstated and misplaced.
