Dear Colleagues,
I am currently involved in helping to develop the HEA's knowledge of and policy towards interdisciplinary work in higher education. There are three accepted definitions:
Multidisciplinary: where students from more than one discipline engage in a common learning, teaching or assessment activity;
Interdisciplinary: where students from more than one discipline learn with, from and about one another through a common activity, usually in the context of practice.
Transdisciplinary: where students study in a way that blurs or even ignores traditional discipline boundaries.
Excluding the obvious examples inherent in our disciplines e.g. Drama and/or Dance with Music and Design and Technical, I'd welcome some very brief examples of any of the three collaborations described above, particularly where they involve working with non-performing arts disciplines e.g. sciences, health sciences, social sciences, humanities, etc.
Please reply to me off-list at [log in to unmask]
Also, please state if I have your permission to share the information with my colleagues. Otherwise all examples will be treated confidentially, and if used at all, will be anonymised.
Best wishes
Paul
