The politics of interdisciplinary studies

Augsburg, Tanya Henry, Stuart

9780786441686 - The politics of interdisciplinary studies
Secondhand

Article description

This collection of essays first highlights the popularity of interdisciplinary undergraduate studies and their recent gains in the world of higher education, and then addresses the paradoxical failure of these studies to achieve a permanent position in the curricula of individual universities and colleges. This question and its attendant issues are explored in three ways: an overview of how these changes are affected by the political economy, case studies from actual universities and colleges, and, a discussion of the new ways undergraduates are educated through the use of interdisciplinary studies.
