inventio: a journal of creative thinking about learning and teaching has
extended the deadline for its Spring 2001 special issue on the theme of
interdisciplinarity until 31 December, 2000.
Interdisciplinarity has featured in thinking about pedagogy and
education for some time. Recently, the discussion of disciplinary vs.
interdisciplinary teaching and learning has once again grown heated,
with newer terms such as cross-disciplinary, integrated, etc. entering
the debate. At the heart of the discussion lies the claim that knowledge
does not proceed smoothly from disciplinary bases which are themselves
inherently artificial but instead springs from varied perspectives which
cross academic disciplinary lines.
For this issue, we invite articles on all aspects of interdisciplinarity
in contemporary education including (but by no means limited to) classroom
case studies, curricular and pedagogical innovations, faculty and student
approaches to (and gains from) interdisciplinary teaching and learning,
and administrative and institutional approaches to interdisciplinary
learning. inventio welcomes articles from scholars in all disciplines.
This special issue, under the guest editorship of Charles Carter, marks
inventio's first issue as a national publication. Should you have any
queries, please do contact us by e-mail at inventio@irc.gmu.edu
