What is Cross-Disciplinarity?
The Global Arts + Humanities provides meaningful structural and material support for cross-disciplinary research and communities of practice. As our guiding principle, cross-disciplinarity is an umbrella term that encompasses the following approaches:
Multidisciplinary
Multidisciplinarity incorporates different disciplinary perspectives and methods, which are brought together to address a common problem or issue.
Interdisciplinarity
Interdisciplinarity integrates theoretical frameworks, methods and skills from the involved disciplines throughout the research process.
Transdisciplinarity
Transdisciplinarity creates new conceptual, theoretical, methodological and translational innovations that move beyond discipline-specific approaches to address a common problem or issue.
