Interdisciplinarity has become increasingly important for emergent professions of the 21st century yet there is a dearth of systematic studies aimed at implementing it in the school and university curricula. The Mathematics and its Connections to the Arts and Sciences (MACAS ) group places Mathematics as a vehicle through which deep and meaningful connections can be forged with the Arts and the Sciences and as a means of promoting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary thinking traits amongst students. The Third International Symposium held by the MACAS group in Moncton, Canada in 2009 included numerous initiatives and ideas for interdisciplinarity that are implementable in both the school and university setting. The chapters in this book cover interdisciplinary links with mathematics found in the domains of culture, art, aesthetics, music, cognition, history, philosophy, engineering, technology and science with contributors from Canada, U.S, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Iran and Poland amongst others.

This peer-reviewed book adopts a multidisciplinary perspective to re-examine the complicated nature of societal challenges, resulting from mans quest for an increasingly reduced world. Chapter One discusses methodological innovations in teaching in Rwanda to postulate how culturally-adapted resources liberate learners from the top-bottom colonial pedagogy. Chapter Two derives from Virginia Woolfs To the Lighthouse to establish that human beings, as replicated by Woofs characters, seem to be much more defined by biochemical factors than by socioeconomic and cultural factors. Chapter Three posits the centrality of environmental factors in language learning in examining the effectives of instruction. Chapter Four exposes the double-edged international diplomacy, which victimised Sudan, and suggests solutions that anticipate the preventive diplomacy of the United Nations in the 20th and 21st centuries, with reference to D.H Lawrences The Rainbow. Chapter Five examines political discourses in Taylors The Land of the Saracen to show how a redefinition of orientalism experienced by early Americans leads to an ambivalent Americanised orientalism. Chapter Six reviews principle axioms of postcolonial theory asserts that literature teaching in Africa has shifted from exclusive literary dogmas to a multifactorial approach, which enhances human construction. Chapter Seven sees elderly people in Africa as mediators and socio-political mentors necessary for cross generational fertilization needed for sustainable development. Chapter Eight analyses ways through which both Nigerian and Cameroon English maintain their norm developing status according to Kachrus concentric circle. Chapter Nine argues that the Book of Genesis in the Bible venerates women, contrary to Christian attributes of betrayal. It argues that God is not wholly potent and must learn from the failings of his creation to perfect his art. Chapter Ten examines gender roles in Cameroonian myths to argue that new societal trends are offshoots of images constructed by myths. Chapter Eleven explores the bond between the English language and education and challenges linguistic imbalances that undermine 21st Century Africas educational system. Chapter Twelve discusses womens agentive roles in the spread of Islam evidence in Salman Rushdies The Satanic Verses and contends that Rushdie empowers female prophetess as a way of eliminating values of subjugation in which they find themselves. Chapter Thirteen contends that in postcolonial or postmodern contexts, rules on poetic drama may be an empirical farce as there is always a dramatic depiction of events, which portrays the poet dramatists impressions. Chapter Fourteen analyses the structure of negative constructions in a Bantu languageLimbumto propose an outer shell NegP and an inner core NegP contrary to common understanding. Chapter Fifteen argues that, the motives for which Cameroonians were made to learn English in state-run pilot linguistic centres have been submerged by the new global dispensation thereby contesting the relative value of the centres. Chapter Sixteen sees the emergence of a more Francophonised English in Cameron, which sets a new order for the definition of Cameroon English.

The ‘tribes and territories’ metaphor for the cultures of academic disciplines and their roots in different knowledge characteristics has been used by those interested in university life and work since the early 1990s. This book draws together research, data and theory to show how higher education has gone through major change since then and how social theory has evolved in parallel. Together these changes mean there is a need to re-theorise academic life in a way which reflects changed contexts in universities in the twenty-first century, and so a need for new metaphors. Using a social practice approach, the editors and contributors argue that disciplines are alive and well, but that in a turbulent environment where many other forces conditioning academic practices exist, their influence is generally weaker than before. However, the social practice approach adopted in the book highlights how this influence is contextually contingent – how disciplines are deployed in different ways for different purposes and with varying degrees of purchase. This important book pulls together the latest thinking on the subject and offers a new framework for conceptualising the influences on academic practices in universities. It brings together a distinguished group of scholars from across the world to address questions such as: Have disciplines been displaced by inter-disciplinarity, having outlived their usefulness? Have other forces acting on the academy pushed disciplines into the background as factors shaping the practices of academics and students there? How significant are disciplinary differences in teaching and research practices? What is their significance in other areas of work in universities? This timely book addresses a pressing concern in modern education, and will be of great interest to university professionals, managers and policy-makers in the field of higher education.

Scimat (Science Matters) is the new multidiscipline that deals with the science of humans. It aims to raise the scientific level of the humanities by encouraging interaction between humanists and natural scientists. This book Interdisciplinarity and General Education in the 21st Century derives from the fifth international scimat conference of the same title, held in Cascais, Portugal, in October 2015, at Muchaxo Hotel, one of the most ancient icons of the charming Atlantic Coast. A great diversity of themes is well portrayed in this volume which contains 12 chapters written by 12 expert humanists and scientists and it is organized in three parts, ranging from Interdisciplinarity and General Education to Other Science Matters

Clarification of the aims and problems of interdisciplinarity, as this book demonstrates, not only will help reveal the movement's probable impact on university teaching and research but also will shed light on the overall future of the university. This book therefore speaks to faculty members and administrators in general, as well as to teachers and students whose specialty is the study of higher education. A recurring theme is that every academic specialty can be justified for purposes of research, provided it does not lead to overspecialization in education. The proviso is a formidable one, challenging the intellect, the will, and the good faith of all concerned. Yet interdisciplinarity has a fundamental historical sanction: disciplinary domains are not immutable but rather are constantly evolving through fission and fusion. (Examples of fission are the division of medieval grammar and rhetoric into modern lingustic and literary studies, or of 19th-century biology into today's life sciences. Fusion is exemplified in a range of fields from astrophysics through biochemistry to psycholinguists and social psychology.) A general perspective on the continuing debate about interdisciplinary is presented in the first four chapters, followed by six chapters on specific problems and prospects. The introduction reviews well-founded as well as misdirected objections to interdisciplinarity, contrasting &"natural&" interactions as in geophysics (arising from intrinsic developments) with &"artificial&" ones as in general education courses (arising from curriculum design) &—but holding that the latter can be as legitimate as the former if responsive to genuine educational needs. Chapters 1 to 4 give the historical and philosophical background of interdisciplinarity from Plato's Academy to the Center for Educational Research and Innovation. Chapters 5 to 7 consider specific challenges in the respective domains of natural science, social science, and the humanities&—cautioning against incompetent borrowings of paradigms. Chapters 8 and 9 treat the methodological, institutional, and personal problems arising from boundary-crossing. Chapter 10 critically analyzes three cases of interdisciplinary innovation in the United States and gives summary descriptions of programs in a dozen countries.

This book offers a survey of the development of interdisciplinarity in religious studies within academia and offers ways for it to continue to progress in contemporary universities. It examines the use of the term ‘interdisciplinary’ in the context of the academic study of religion and how it shapes the way scholarly work in this field has developed. The text uses two main elements to discuss religious studies as a field. Firstly, it looks at the history of the development of religious studies in academia, as seen through an interdisciplinary critique of the university as an epistemological project. It then uses the same interdisciplinary critique to develop a foundation for a 21st-century hermeneutic, one which uses the classical concepts reprised by that interdisciplinary critique and retools the field for the 21st century. Setting out both the objects of religious studies as a subject and the techniques used to employ the study of those objects, this book offers an invaluable perspective on the progress of the field. It will, therefore, be of great use to scholars of research methods within religious studies.

Interdisciplinarity has become as important outside academia as within. Academics, policy makers, and the general public seek insights to help organize the vast amounts of knowledge being produced, both within research and at all levels of education. The second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity offers a thorough update of this major reference work, summarizing the latest advances within the field of inter- and transdisciplinarity. The collection is distinguished by its breadth of coverage, with chapters written by leading experts from multiple networks and organizations. The volume is edited by respected interdisciplinary scholars and supported by a prestigious advisory board to ensure the highest quality and breadth of coverage. The Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity provides a synoptic overview of the current state of interdisciplinary research, education, administration and management, and of problem solving-knowledge that spans the disciplines and interdisciplinary fields. The volume negotiates the space between the academic community and society at large. Offering the most broad-based account of inter- and transdisciplinarity to date, its 47 chapters provide a snapshot of the state of knowledge integration as interdisciplinarity approaches its century mark. This second edition expands its coverage to discuss the emergence of new fields, the increase of interdisciplinary approaches within traditional disciplines and professions, new integrative approaches to education and training, the widening international presence of interdisciplinarity, its increased support in funding agencies and science-policy bodies, and the formation of several new international associations associated with interdisciplinarity. This reference book will be a valuable addition to academic libraries worldwide, important reading for members of the sciences, social sciences, and humanities engaged in interdisciplinary research and education, and helpful for administrators and policy makers seeking to improve the use of knowledge in society.
