Nice post! Yes, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential, we can all benefit from it.

@carlgomb had a nice blog on how easy/tough interdisciplinarity is, which I don't seem to find right now.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
Interdisciplinary research is easy to do poorly and very hard to do right. Management and education research are two classic examples, all too often resembling a Frankenstein's monster of cobbled jargon and buzzwords with few deep insights.

From my own experience as a generalist and cross disciplinary person, it requires its own set of skills that we haven't yet fully understood how to teach.

A shame because like many of us, I firmly believe we are in dire need of this kind of thinking to advance beyond circular and fad based stuff.

Indeed unfortunately interdisciplinarity seems to only get lip service as you're (as a PhD researcher, for sure) discouraged from it and pushed to specialise implicitly or otherwise + id work not funded as much.

Yes. I've sometimes thought, for these reasons, that true 'with-person' interdisciplinarity almost impossible. Instead, you need excellent environments to bring together specialists on interdisciplinary topics (see,

This is limited too, as without some actual generalists, I think collaboration can only get you so far. Very tricky and little existing training, infrastructure, or incentive (grantwise, intellectually it's a pleasure)

I've been thinking about this issue in medicine as well. We need to be more open to changes in the structure of disciplines as we learn how they interact

Academia is so slow moving though.

Both slow moving and often driven by ridiculous fads occasionally...

Yes, or we could call them "new areas of inquiry that don't pan out" lol
