Book synopsis

This volume offers some of the outputs, challenges and opportunities created in an interdisciplinary programme that was set up to engage multi, inter and transdisciplinary perspectives on issues at the intersections of nature and culture, sex and gender. These chapters are examples of what it is to do interdisciplinarity within this setting. With this in mind, many of the contributors use personal narratives woven through the discussions as a method. Other chapters do interdisciplinarity as they experiment with different styles of writing or bring together different theories or perspectives. The purpose of doing so in this context is to emphasise the labour done within multi, inter and trans-disciplinary work that is not merly a novelty that sits outside of disciplinary bounds, a novelty requiring an adjective, but a process, a doing, with situated knowledges and situated consequences; specific challenges and successes. This is not to suggest that work done in inter and transdisciplinary settings is more difficult than the work done within disciplinary settings but that it is a different kind of work. It is illdisciplined in that it transgresses disciplinary bounds while also responding to disciplinary heritages.
