Multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary studies

The purpose of this assignment is twofold:

1. To help you develop a way of explaining “Interdisciplinary Studies,” and

2. To encourage you to develop an identity as an interdisciplinarian.

What To Do

To complete this assignment you will write a short autobiography. It should be about 5 paragraphs long. It should be written in proper academic language with careful attention to writing mechanics. Each paragraph should be fully developed with proper structure: a topic sentence, body sentences, and a concluding sentence.

Here’s is a basic formula of what the autobiography needs to include:

1. A good definition of Interdisciplinary Studies. For this, you MUST refer explicitly to Chapter 3 of your text and to this article here: https://www.progressiveconnexions.net/2017/the-interdisciplinary-life/ (Links to an external site.). Use proper APA or MLA formatting for in-text citations and references. This chapter refers to 2 types of interdisciplinarity (critical and instrumental). Your definition must clearly explain each.
