Questioning the promise of interdisciplinarity: an ethnography of an interdisciplinary research projectTools Lewis, Ashley (2022) Questioning the promise of interdisciplinarity: an ethnography of an interdisciplinary research project. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractInterdisciplinarity has been portrayed as the research approach of choice by funders in Europe and the UK. As it is lauded as the necessary research configuration to reach ‘holistic’ solutions to complex problems such as sustainability, researchers and institutions organise their projects accordingly. Interdisciplinarity has become a research topic in itself. However, existing research has principally focused on the reasons why interdisciplinarity research is needed and the challenges to doing it successfully. The popularity of this research approach, coupled with the continued challenges of ‘doing’ interdisciplinarity, suggests that more research is needed to investigate the experiences of the researchers themselves.
