<p>Interdisciplinarity is an important issue for social sciences. Increasingly researchers are required to work collaboratively to find solutions to important global issues such as food poverty, sustainable living and climate. change. But what does it mean in practice to be an ‘interdisciplinary researcher’? On this module you’ll learn about the philosophical, methodological, practical, and ethical issues that researchers face when working across disciplinary boundaries. We’ll consider how project teams develop research questions, integrate research methods, and combine different bodies of knowledge.  Our aim will be to understand both the challenges, and the benefits, of doing interdisciplinary work.</p>
