content, methods, and epistemologies are the central building blocks of disciplines, and it is helpful to understand these as you get started in Interdisciplinary Studies.
Different areas of studies will have different content. Knowing content from all areas of your multidisciplinary major is an important part in succeeding.
Interdisciplinary studies is “a process of answering a question, solving a problem, or addressing a topic that is too broad or complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline or profession,” and it “draws on disciplinary perspectives and integrates their insights through construction of a more comprehensive perspective” (Klein and Newell, 1998, 3).
Sometimes we must pull knowledge from multiple disciplines to answer the question to it's full extent.
For instance, public assignments tap into fears of public embarrassment
The idea of everyone reading what you say can be very intimidating
Schools routinely caution students about the things they post on social media
With social media so integrated in our lives it causes us to have a huge lack of privacy
