This interdisciplinary book uses key examples and specific case studies from the ‘Trailblazers’ of Anglia Ruskin University, UK, to address the successes and challenges experienced during the creation, development and running of breadth modules. It’s been carefully written to support anyone looking to implement this innovative method into their own university setting.

With content informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and using active learning pedagogies, interdisciplinary student teams work together to develop sustainable solutions, allowing for the growth of skills vital for enhancing student employability. The chapters are grounded in theory, making the discussions transferable to a wide readership interested in interdisciplinary approaches at the higher education level. The theoretical underpinnings of the discussions in each chapter will open up questions relating to contemporary issues such as diversity and representation, poverty and sustainability, artificial intelligence and social justice.

This is a must-read text for anyone seeking to implement similar breadth modules at their institutions, or are considering how to develop strategies that address whole institution questions such as sustainability and employability.

Arvustused

'This book is an exceptionally welcome and timely publication. Recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and practices is gaining traction across the globe, but there is still much to do in leading students to appreciate and engage with interdisciplinary perspectives. The leadership in this area at Anglia Ruskin University, outlined and described in this compilation, is essential reading for anyone involved in conceiving, designing, and implementing interdisciplinary programmes in Higher Education.'

Ida Kemp, Chair, Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conferences, UK.

'Expressed in a practical and research-informed manner, the case studies in this book are honest about barriers and practical needs when developing something so unusual in higher education as interdisciplinary modules focusing on cooperation, knowledge creation, sustainability, and employability, when usually students work in discipline-focused silos. This book showcases the development, actioning, and achievement of the Ruskin Modules, which offer new ways of looking at cooperative interdisciplinary knowledge creation and transformation beyond University study into future employment and social practice.'

Gina Wisker, Senior Lecturer, International Centre for Higher Education Management, University of Bath, UK.
