In theory, interdisciplinary collaboration breaks down artificial divisions between different departments, allowing more innovative and sophisticated research to flourish. But does it actually work this way in practice?       Investigating Interdisciplinary Collaboration puts the common beliefs about such research to the test, using empirical data gathered by scholars from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. The book's contributors critically interrogate the assumptions underlying the fervor for interdisciplinarity. Their attentive scholarship reveals how, for all its potential benefits, interdisciplinary collaboration is neither immune to academia's status hierarchies, nor a simple antidote to the alleged shortcomings of disciplinary study.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aReference, information & interdisciplinary subjects2bicssc  ainterdisciplinarity; collaboration1 aAlbert, Mathieu4edt1 aAlbert, Mathieu4oth1 aFrickel, Scott4oth1 aPrainsack, Barbara4edt1 aPrainsack, Barbara4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/7085270zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92477d92477
