Beyond interdisciplinary

[Paul Steinberg]

Dear GEP Colleagues,

A couple of years ago I asked GEP-ed if anyone knew of an accessible article describing how to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, suitable for assigning in the classroom.  Well, sometimes you just have to write these things yourself!

In "Collaboration Across Social Boundaries: A Practical Guide," published today in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Karl Haushalter and I share strategies for social problem solving with diverse social actors.  We argue that it is important to move past an emphasis on inter-discipline, thinking more in terms of inter-social.

I hope you find it useful!

Best wishes,

Paul
