“…Inter‐, multi‐ or transdisciplinary endeavors are increasingly recognized as effective means for managing complexity (Aagaard‐Hansen 2007; Buanes and Jentoft 2009; Holland 2008; Klein et al 2001) and increasing possibilities for innovative research (Aagaard‐Hansen and Svedin 2009; Olsen 2009). While all three terms are cast by some under the umbrella of cross‐disciplinary work (Aagaard‐Hansen 2007; Aagaard‐Hansen and Svedin 2009; Jeffrey 2003), each has distinct and similar meanings that contribute to a variety of collaborative efforts (Holland 2008). “Interdisciplinarity” is often distinguished from the term “multidisciplinarity” based on the level of integration, where disciplinary boundaries are crossed, analytical frames from more than one discipline are employed, and researchers work jointly rather than in parallel with each other on a problem (Aagaard‐Hansen 2007; Holland 2008; Romm 1998).…”

“…“Interdisciplinarity” is often distinguished from the term “multidisciplinarity” based on the level of integration, where disciplinary boundaries are crossed, analytical frames from more than one discipline are employed, and researchers work jointly rather than in parallel with each other on a problem (Aagaard‐Hansen 2007; Holland 2008; Romm 1998). Various conceptions of interdisciplinarity arise when considering the degree of intended integration, the proximity (Holland 2008) or scope between the involved disciplines (Aagaard‐Hansen and Svedin 2009), and the types of research goals (Huutoniemi et al 2010).…”

Hardy is a senior lecturer in the Business School at the University of Sydney. Her research is directed toward assisting organizations in the development of an information capability. Drawing from the fi elds of information policy, IT governance, risk, and assurance, her research interests focus on the complex interplay between ICT innovation, organizational change, and regulation. Recent projects have applied this work in e-government and critical infrastructure organizations. She also has a strong commitment to refl exive and casebased methodologies. Communication Technology (CAICT) at Copenhagen Business School. Her research uses theories of socio-technical change and practice to investigate enterprise information management and to understand the ways in which organizations achieve an information capability.

Group Development and Integration in a Cross-Disciplinary and Intercultural Research Team

Cross-disciplinary research is necessary to solve many complex problems that affect society today, including problems involving linked social and environmental systems. Examples include natural resource management or scarcity problems, problematic effects of climate change, and environmental pollution issues. Intercultural research teams are needed to address many complex environmental matters as they often cross geographic and political boundaries, and involve people of different countries and cultures. It follows that disciplinarily and culturally diverse research teams have been organized to investigate and address environmental issues. This case study investigates a team composed of both monolingual and bilingual Chilean and US university researchers who are geoscientists, engineers and economists. The objective of this research team was to study both the natural and human parts of a hydrologic system in a hyper-arid region in northern Chile. Interviews (n = 8) addressed research questions focusing on the interaction of cross-disciplinary diversity and cultural diversity during group integration and development within the team. The case study revealed that the group struggled more with cross-disciplinary challenges than with intercultural ones. Particularly challenging ones were instances the of disciplinary crosstalk, or hidden misunderstandings, where team members thought they understood their cross-disciplinary colleagues, when in reality they did not. Results showed that translation served as a facilitator to cross-disciplinary integration of the research team. The use of translation in group meetings as a strategy for effective cross-disciplinary integration can be extended to monolingual cross-disciplinary teams as well.

Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education

This article presents a case study of the peer review process for a feminist article submitted to an engineering education journal. It demonstrates how an examination of peer review can be a useful approach to further understanding the development of feminist thought in education fields. Rather than opposition to feminist thought per se, my experience reveals that opposing beliefs about what a feminist contribution to engineering education entails pose a challenge to those aiming to engage with feminist thought.
