ABSTRACT
This chapter will open with an explanation of the reasons why some of the most exciting discoveries in recent times have occurred at the intersections of 93traditional disciplines, pointing to the lack of extensive research linking film with other disciplinary fields and, thus, to the possibility for students of making original contributions to knowledge by tackling interdisciplinary subjects. This discussion will be followed by examples of successful interdisciplinary undergraduate research seminars and projects and by suggestions for possible topics. The conclusion will show the benefits many students and professors have enjoyed from such collaborations, providing samples of student projects from journals and conferences.
