ABSTRACT

It is a truism that good interdisciplinary research requires strong disciplines: to build durable bridges across silos, we need sturdy silos. It is perhaps less obvious, though, how to handle an inherent paradox: disciplinary allegiances are both necessary for-and a barrier against-effective interdisciplinarity. Most scholars working in their own elds do not have time and resources to know much about, no less integrate, the work of colleagues in other elds. Moreover, as disciplines grow more rigorous, their private linguistic code-jargon-grows more opaque. Ultimately, the collective good of interdisciplinary research is constrained by the rational choice of scholars who burrow in and focus on ever more isolated areas of expertise.
