Abstract

Use and understanding of the term "interdisciplinarity" is both complex and contested. It has been variously defined as an approach which ‘draws on more than one discipline’s perspective to synthesize a more comprehensive understanding’ (Newell, 2001), or a set of practices which ‘do not unnecessarily constrain theories, methods, or phenomena [to the] context of disciplinary perspective’ (Szostak, 2015).
This lightening talk will present outputs from a series of workshops in which colleagues explored the concept of interdisciplinary and sought to harness creative approaches to develop and share their understanding.
