About this ebook
This book argues that the time has come to embrace transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching and research as essential to addressing today’s complex challenges. It traces the shift from rigid “silo” thinking toward integrated approaches that connect sciences, humanities, and applied fields such as health, environmental policy, and technology. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship, it explores emerging intersections and conceptual frameworks that redefine concepts of place, landscape, networks, welfare, and wellbeing. The book also explores tensions between global interconnectedness and persistent social, economic, and political divides, offering insights into how scholars can navigate and bridge these worlds.
Essential reading for scholars, educators, and advanced students seeking to navigate and contribute to the evolving landscape of interdisciplinary research.
