Designing Interdisciplinary Education ─ A practical handbook for university teachers

Interdisciplinary education has become a powerful buzzword in higher education. But it remains a complicated concept to understand and deploy. How do we define interdisciplinarity? How do we measure whether a student has integrated different insights? How can we challenge students to step across disciplinary borders? Designing Interdisciplinary Education answers those questions, offering guidance and practical advice for university teachers who want to successfully develop, implement, and sustain an interdisciplinary approach to their teaching.
