Abstract

Higher Education is experiencing unprecedented change. Innovative teaching is required that keeps pace with new demands and opportunities. This paper seeks to inform the current debate on this issue. It will: (i) refer to the existing literature to consider areas where interdisciplinary scholarship can be a catalyst to drive required radical change; (ii) draw on the author’s recent experience of interdisciplinary scholarship; (iii) conclude by evaluating the potential of interdisciplinary scholarship, and articulate shared challenges that may be faced by any community seeking to engage with it for innovation in teaching; (iv) identify future research to support that community.
