But despite this growing enthusiasm, our collective understanding of the dynamics, rewards, and challenges of faculty conversations across disciplines remains murky. Through six case studies of interdisciplinary seminars for faculty, \u003ci\u003eInterdisciplinary Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e investigates pivotal interdisciplinary conversations and analyzes the factors that make them work. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePast discussions about barriers to interdisciplinary collaborations fixate on funding, the academic reward system, and the difficulties of evaluating research from multiple fields. This book uncovers barriers that are hidden: disciplinary habits of mind, disciplinary cultures, and interpersonal dynamics. Once uncovered, these barriers can be broken down by faculty members and administrators. While clarion calls for interdisciplinarity rise in chorus, this book lays out a clear vision of how to realize the creative potential of interdisciplinary conversations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Myra Strober\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804772312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804772310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Myra Strober","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055930634495,"sku":"9780804772310","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3994b28-d365-4b51-972f-21ce8c72c10c.jpg?v=1685038587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interdisciplinary-conversations-myra-strober-9780804772310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
