Inspiring Ideas in Philanthropy: Interdisciplinary Conversations

What makes interdisciplinary conversations so difficult? What are the hallmarks of fruitful interdisciplinary conversations? Myra H. Strober asks these questions in her book, Interdisciplinary Conversations: Challenging Habits of Thought. Strober uncovers barriers that are hidden in interdisciplinary collaborations: disciplinary habits of mind, cultures, and interpersonal dynamics. The book lays out a clear vision for faculty members and administrators to realize the creative potential of these conversations. Check it out now at the GIFT Center and take a look at our other books related to grants and development!
