Higher education is changing rapidly in response to the global challenges of the twenty-first century, but for disciplinarily-trained lecturers interdisciplinary curriculum and course design is a time-consuming process fraught with difficult pedagogical choices.

This reader is the first book to bring together key texts on interdisciplinary teaching and learning, all drawn from a growing literature of peer-reviewed academic books and journals. As well as presenting excerpts from these foundational texts, commentaries provide essential guidance on the relevant themes, helping lecturers to reflect on this fast-moving landscape.

This is an essential resource for those designing and teaching interdisciplinary courses.

“This thoughtfully curated collection is a long-awaited guide for students and faculty navigating through interdisciplinary higher education.” Katrine Ellemose Lindvig, University of Copenhagen “Interdisciplinary research will never be mainstream until university educational structures recognise its worth. This volume provides valuable stepping stones towards that goal.” Catherine Lyall, Emerita Professor, The University of Edinburgh
