Beyond Silos: Exploring Interdisciplinary
Dr Rebekah Humphreys
25th March 2026
1-2pm
Online
The aim of this workshop is to provide an opportunity to explore the meaning of interdisciplinary (in contrast to multi-disciplinarity and trans-disciplinarity) in theory and in practice, its importance in relation to thinking about solutions to intractable global problems and issues, and the benefits and obstacles arising in relation to scholarship, methods and approaches.
Dr Rebekah Humphreys is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD), Carmarthen, Wales, UK, where she is co-Chair of the UWTSD’s Research Ethics and Integrity University Committee.
