Tóm tắt
In the fall of 2001, I began preparing for my upcoming duties as Chair of Interdisciplinary Studies at my liberal arts college. I plunged into texts such as William Newell’s edited collection, Interdisciplinarity: Essays from the Literature, Julie Th ompson Klein’s Crossing Boundaries, and Newell and William Green’s article “Defining and Teaching Interdisciplinary Studies.” I naively believed that this homework would be primarily review because I had always identified as someone “in” the interdisciplinary field of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS), although my disciplinary department is English. I had taught not only the introductory course and senior seminar in Women’s and Gender Studies but also had teamtaught as well as worked on numerous projects with colleagues across disciplines at a small, U.S. college where multidisciplinary collaborations (in teaching, governance, and scholarship) prevail. Despite my experiences, I had been “liv[ing] with casual and unexamined understandings of interdisciplinarity, " to use Marjorie Pryse’s phrase (2000, 106). To no surprise, I was forced almost immediately to confront my very real and very deep ignorance; in reality, I could not have articulated a substantial definition of interdisciplinarity or any of the significant issues being raised by interdisciplinary studies’ practitioners. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.
