Dancing with inter-disciplinarity: strategies and practices in higher education dance drama and music
Carr, Paul, Dennis, Rea and Hand, Richard 2014, Dancing with inter-disciplinarity: strategies and practices in higher education dance drama and music, The Higher Education Academy, York, Eng..
The rise of inter-disciplinarity has not occurred without debate and controversy. Often responding to government agendas, it is not uncommon for university research strategies to include inter-disciplinarity by default, by supporting multidisciplinary collaborations across the institution, nationally and internationally – industry and business being a particular focus. Beginning from the premise that Inter-disciplinary is where students/staff from more than one discipline learn with, from and about one another through a common activity, usually in the context of practice, this report documents the findings of a recent research project aimed to document ways in which inter-disciplinary approaches were active in universities, how they were resourced, what made them effective, and in what ways they are limited.
