Brief Course Description
This course will introduce students to some of the fundamental theories, histories, methods and practices of interdisciplinary work. By considering different models and case studies related to interdisciplinarity, students will be able to explicitly reflect on the theories and practices of interdisciplinarity that will inform their own research practices. Course readings and assignments have been designed to help students think both conceptually and concretely about how to plan their own interdisciplinary doctoral research.
