Conclusion: "The funding can only do so much".This book highlights the importance of interdisciplinarity in the academic landscape, and examines how it is understood in the context of the modern university. While interdisciplinarity is encouraged by research funders, academics themselves receive mixed messages about how, when and whether to follow this route. Building upon a series of career history interviews with established interdisciplinary researchers, the author reveals fundamental misunderstandings about the nature of interdisciplinary knowledge, how this is shared, and the skills these researchers bring. The book addresses these issues on both a personal and systemic level, identifying how a resilient researcher can craft their own research trajectory to view interdisciplinarity as a truly embedded approach. .Palgrave pivot.Higher educationEducational policyEducation and stateEducationSchool management and organizationSchool administrationHigher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000Educational Policy and Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000Popular Science in Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q28000Administration, Organization and Leadershiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O17000Higher education.Educational policy.Education and state.Education.School management and organization.School administration.Higher Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Popular Science in Education.Administration, Organization and Leadership.378378.199Lyall Catherineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058163BOOK9910337755703321Being an Interdisciplinary Academic2497694UNINA
