| DESCRIPTION | Interdisciplinary scholarship is the most fascinating path to challenging the status quo. While doctoral research is traditionally conducted within the established boundaries of a given discipline, interdisciplinary research crosses boundaries, questions conventional thinking and communicates diversity of ideas across disciplinary frameworks. Interdisciplinary research can take place between disciplines that are quite close together or disciplines that are dissimilar from one another. There are challenges to understanding what it means to undertake doctoral research in an interdisciplinary environment. Beyond engaging in the thinking of another field of study, the doctoral researcher fosters an understanding of innovative approaches typically located within mainstream scholarship. The workshop offers an opportunity for active learning, and the areas exemplified are as multifaceted as the research interests of the doctoral researchers. OUTCOMES By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should be more aware of: - develop a questioning mind to challenge personal beliefs and conventional thinking; - foster interpersonal communication across disciplines without imposing personal views onto the conversation; - engage in flexible strategies and research methods from a variety of areas of scholarship; - collaborate with peers from a range of disciplines on journal articles and conference presentations. |
