How Disciplines Interact (1)

How Disciplines Interact (2)

Contrasts between neighbouring disciplines

SUM: Lessons from experience • Interdisciplinarity does not replace disciplines, it builds on them; • The best way to undertake interdisciplinary research is through collaboration between researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds; • Interdisciplinarity requires a critical but informed knowledge of one’s own discipline of origin; openness to, and respect for, other disciplines; and the willingness and ability to enter into dialogue with them; In the field of sustainable development, the greatest divide is between ‘reductionist’ and ‘holistic’ approaches (which is not quite the same as the natural/social science divide). SUM’s competence and interest has been in the latter.
