Interdisciplinarity – FS 2021

In universities and beyond, “interdisciplinarity” has become a buzzword: Interfaculty centers are founded to foster interdisciplinary exchange; funding institutions increase their budgets for interdisciplinary research; and study programs that integrate contributions from several disciplines are trending. But is the hype about interdisciplinarity well placed? What is interdisciplinary research, to begin with? What are its chances and possible pitfalls? How can interdisciplinary research be promoted in an effective way? The Münchenwiler seminar invites researchers to step back from their daily engagement in interdisciplinary research and to reflect on the future of scholarly disciplines as well as of interdisciplinary
approaches.
