“Interdisciplinarity as a research policy mascot” Call for short reflective contributions on the theme

[Claes-Fredrik Helgesson]

[Apologies for cross–posting!] 

Dear all,

A few weeks ago READ* in Uppsala  had a seminar on the theme “Interdisciplinarity as a research policy mascot”. The discussions inspired us to venture into collecting a number of short reflexive pieces on this theme. We are envisioning a volume in the series Circus Interdisciplinary Insights with 10-15 contributions of 1000-2000 words each, welcoming contributions from researchers both at Uppsala and other places.

We are now gathering proposals! We welcome proposals in English or Swedish.

More info and possible questions to address are available here:

Link to propose a submission: https://doit.medfarm.uu.se/bin/kurt3/kurt/8884363

Deadline 2 May. Note! We are now only gathering a tentative title and a few sentences to outline your proposed theme.

Do inform others who you think could be interested!

For the editors,

Claes-Fredrik Helgesson
