Description: "As universities increasingly offer courses that break the confines of a single subject area, more students are enrolling on interdisciplinary programs within multidisciplinary departments. Teaching and learning within interdisciplinary study requires new approaches, including an understanding of the critical perspectives and frameworks and the rearranging of intellectual and professional boundaries." "Grounded in thorough research, this collection is the first of its kind to provide practical advice and guidance from around the world, improving the quality of teaching and learning in interdisciplinary programs."--Jacket.
