Klein documents trends, traces historical patterns and precedents, and provides practical advice. Going directly to the heart of our institutional realities, she focuses attention on some of the more challenging aspects of bringing together ambitious goals for interdisciplinary vitality with institutional, budgetary, and governance systems. A singular strength of this book, then, is the practical advice it provides about such nitty-gritty issues as program review, faculty development, tenure and promotion, hiring, and the political economy of interdisciplinarity. . . . We know that readers everywhere will find [this book] simultaneously richly illuminating and intensively useful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Author xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Model for Interdisciplinary Change 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Mapping National Drivers of Interdisciplinary Change 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Bridging National and Local Maps 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Platforming Interdisciplinarity 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Fostering Programmatic Strength and Sustainability 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Monitoring the Interdisciplinary Career Life Cycle 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Countering Myths and Situating Practices 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResources 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary for a Core Vocabulary 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 199\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402362659159,"sku":"9780470550892","price":33.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780470550892.jpg?v=1730480176","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/creating-interdisciplinary-campus-cultures-9780470550892","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
