Overview

"This dissertation and the course proposed in the fifth chapter are both interdisciplinary in approach. Here I will situate this work in broader conversations around interdisciplinarity. Joe Moran writes that the term ""'interdisciplinary' emerged within the context of these anxieties about the decline of general forms of education, being first used in the social sciences in the mid-1920s and becoming common currency across the social sciences and humanities in the period immediately after the Second World War.""8 Moran refers to anxieties including ""the critique of the academic disciplines as limited and confining""9 in pursuit of understanding the world, and their potential or lack thereofin stimulating the production of new knowledge. Changes in education over the past 30 years, such as increased diversity in schools, collaborative work and communication among teachers across universities and other movements, have helped increasingly to make interdisciplinary teaching, learning and research possible."
