Jour Fixe: "Enabling interdisciplinary research - A philosophical perspective"
The Zukunftskolleg invited everyone to the jour fixe led by Carolin Antos Kuby (Research Fellow / Philosophy).
We invited you to our next Jour fixe on 13 June 2023.
Carolin Antos-Kuby (Research Fellow / Philosophy) gave a talk entitled "Enabling interdisciplinary research - A philosophical perspective".
Abstract:
Interdisciplinary research is highly valued for its potential for innovative insight and scientific progress. At the same time it can be frustrating for scientists to do such research as it is prone to failure in collaborative settings. In this talk I want to explore these aspects by focussing on the epistemic and cognitive resources needed to enable successful interdisciplinary research. I describe several aspects of integrating linguistic, cognitive and epistemic frameworks from different disciplines. This can explain the difficulties of interdisciplinary research faces and shows a way forward in supporting local and global interdisciplinarity.
