Introducing Interdisciplinary Modules in Higher Education

Reviews / Votes

'This book is an exceptionally welcome and timely publication. Recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and practices is gaining traction across the globe, but there is still much to do in leading students to appreciate and engage with interdisciplinary perspectives. The leadership in this area at Anglia Ruskin University, outlined and described in this compilation, is essential reading for anyone involved in conceiving, designing, and implementing interdisciplinary programmes in Higher Education.'

'Expressed in a practical and research-informed manner, the case studies in this book are honest about barriers and practical needs when developing something so unusual in higher education as interdisciplinary modules focusing on cooperation, knowledge creation, sustainability, and employability, when usually students work in discipline-focused silos. This book showcases the development, actioning, and achievement of the Ruskin Modules, which offer new ways of looking at cooperative interdisciplinary knowledge creation and transformation beyond University study into future employment and social practice.'
