> Over the last few years notions of interdisciplinarity, or
> working across disciplinary boundaries, have acquired an
> increasing prominence. Attempts are being made to break
> down traditional disciplinary frameworks allowing ideas
> and knowledge to flow more easily between individuals and
> organisations. Although a dictionary definition of
> interdisciplinarity is 'involving two or more fields of
> study', interdisciplinarity is also often understood as a
> synthesis of knowledge, a working together to create
> something new which may not perfectly 'belong' to any
> individual discipline. Interdisciplinarity engenders new
> fields of study and practice which may attempt to develop
> their own distinctive procedures, frameworks and cultures.
>
> The workshop intends to address those ethical issues
> which arise when people cross disciplinary boundaries,
> when they work with individuals who are primarily located
> 'within' other disciplines, and when new disciplines or
> fields of study are developed. We are primarily looking
> for stimulating and informative contributions that will
> lead to fruitful discussions.
