Abstract

This chapter explores how interdisciplinarity organically develops in different disciplinary settings. To illustrate these processes, I draw on examples of interdisciplinary educational activities that have developed within existing monodisciplinary structures and institutions. The examples take place at the various graduate levels of higher education, and derive from the published literature, from colleagues and research conducted by me and colleagues since 2015. As will be seen, the different levels of higher education offer different potentials for developing and integrating interdisciplinarity, which are caused by historical and geographical differences in higher education structures. Each type of weaving also carries certain traits and characteristics, which will be discussed alongside the challenges that may also occur with them. I end the chapter with a discussion and future strategies for sustaining and embedding interdisciplinarity in higher education.
