Rezensionen

'Collecting diverse experiences, reactions and integrations starts to lay foundations for advancing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate education. Different chapters will be useful for different readers. I especially applaud the authors who provided candid personal reflections in their cases and commentaries.'

Gabriele Bammer, Professor, The Australian National University, Australia.

'Cross-disciplinary practice is notoriously complex and complicated, with each new project bringing its own set of challenges. While there are many publications written to support cross-disciplinary practitioners, few are as helpful as this volume. Focused on a set of crowdsourced problems that matter to those of us working in this space, the volume provides valuable practical advice while staying attuned to the latest theoretical developments. It is structured around a set of eight cases that are real and draw the reader in. After receiving detailed and insightful commentary from three leading, international experts on crossdisciplinarity, consideration of each case closes with a summative and integrative discussion of its central issues. This is a stimulating and illuminating book that should become required reading for those who wish to embark on a cross-disciplinary path in research and practice.'

Michael O`Rourke, Professor of Philosophy and faculty member in AgBioResearch and Environmental Science and Policy, Michigan State University, USA.

'Interdisciplinary Practice in Higher Education is set to be an invaluable resource for faculty and higher education administrators who are focused on the application of inter- and trans- disciplinary teaching and research. The contributors masterfully create a bridge between theory, research, and practice. Marcus N. Tanner is an interdisciplinary author and practitioner.'
