“…A similar picture arises from a recent study by Lindvig & Hillersdal (2019), in which they report findings from their ethnographic field work in a large interdisciplinary research program in Denmark. They suggest that the researchers and administrators who initiated the program used the notion of interdisciplinarity primarily in a symbolic way to attract funding and political legitimacy for their institution.…”

“…Yet a third body of literature adopts a more reflexive stance in the sense of relating definitional questions to the specific institutional and policy context in which interdisciplinary work is conducted (e.g., Barry et al 2008;Strathern 2007;Felt et al 2013;Felt et al 2016;Lindvig & Hillersdal 2019;Weingart & Stehr 2000). Felt et al (2016) have studied transdisciplinary research projects in Austria in which researchers are meant to collaborate with non-academic actors to develop and tackle joint research problems.…”

“…Despite the advocacy for interdisciplinary scholarship from prominent scientific organizations (National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018), significant barriers remain to the institutionalization of interdisciplinary endeavors. Colleges and universities are structurally organized around academic departments that represent disciplines (Holley, 2009;Lindvig & Hillersdal, 2019;Lyall, 2019). Creating and sustaining interdisciplinary units requires organizational strategies such as changing tenure and promotion policies (Holley, 2009;Hurtado & Sharkness, 2008;Lyall, 2019;Müller & Kaltenbrunner, 2019), creating shared physical spaces (Borrego, Boden, & Newswander, 2014;Gantogtokh & Quinlan, 2017;Holley, 2015), and dedicating resources and staffing to interdisciplinary program management (Gantogtokh & Quinlan, 2017).…”

“…Thus, enhancing interdisciplinarity may also act as a lever by which to fulfill American workforce needs in science and technology fields (National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018). Despite consensus on the need for and benefits of interdisciplinary research, there is little agreement on what interdisciplinary research is, how it should be conducted, and the skills researchers need to do it (Klaassen, 2018;Lattuca, 2001Lattuca, , 2003Lindvig, 2018;Lindvig & Hillersdal, 2019;MacLeod & Nagatsu, 2018;Müller & Kaltenbrunner, 2019). This disagreement presents challenges for higher education institutions seeking to train doctoral students to conduct research that crosses disciplinary boundaries (Boden, Borrego, Newswander, 2011;Borrego & Newswander, 2010;Carr, Loucks, & Blöschl, 2018).…”
