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?   \u003ci\u003eInvestigating Interdisciplinary Collaboration\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 is available Open Access here (https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK395883)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53567369511286,"sku":"9780813585895","price":131.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31227627.jpg?v=1730965626","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780813585895-investigating-interdisciplinary-collabor","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
