The world does not have disciplines; it has problems. What’s more, the most important problems we face – problems like climate change, migration, sustainable economic production, democratic governance, and so on – cannot be solved with the tools of any single discipline. Such problems require collaborative, creative, and interdisciplinary approaches, and yet Higher Education remains largely structured around narrow, disciplinary degrees. This module introduces students to an alternative interdisciplinary problem-solving approach. Students will learn how to approach complex problems by drawing on theories and methods from multiple disciplines, learning how to think flexibly and work with others to find creative solutions to real-world problems.
