MSPI 5010G - Interdisciplinary Theory and Practice: Frameworks


Over the past decades, social science and humanities faculties, departments, journals, conferences and granting agencies, as well as governmental policy-making institutions and their respective stakeholders have emphasized the value of interdisciplinary research to social innovation and change. Interdisciplinary research blends two or more disciplines into a new or innovative approach. What interdisciplinary approaches are available to scholars and what theoretical and methodological challenges do they face when designing and undertaking interdisciplinary research? Students will be introduced to a variety of complementary and competing approaches to foundational interdisciplinary methods and theoretical frameworks. Case studies across the disciplines will highlight how these approaches enable us to pursue diverse research questions and frame analysis for interdisciplinary research projects.
