| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Israeli academic world has not yet determined its attitude to multidisciplinary approaches, which leads to a lack of institutionalization and regulation in research and in curricular development. The fashion in the 1990s has become a fact, yet the challenge persists: academic institutions offer their students multidisciplinary programmes, considered to be less prestigious, while at the same time displaying scepticism of multidisciplinary research and scholars working in diverse areas of knowledge. The world outside academe has already endorsed multidisciplinary approaches; academe itself is still trying to have its cake and eat it too. |
