Interdisciplinarity and Northern Research

With representatives from history, geography, social work, science studies, environmental studies, and anthropology, as well as from northern communities, we were a rather interdisciplinary group. Does studying the North demand interdisciplinarity? What did we gain from these conversations, and what might a single disciplinary workshop have yielded?

  1. well - i'm rather inclined to suggest that being an intelligent, engaged, empathetic, informed (hell - how many adjectives are there!) human being, makes thinking across every boundary thrown in the way by Enlightenment (and capitalist) logic, absolutely essential.
