Examples (1)• A research on Lapindo case, involving the following
disciplines: - geology and mining to understand the cause of mud spill - political economy to discuss the way the company
operate and make use of power/politics in dealing with the problem
- Law to examine legal aspect of the problem- Sociology to adress social issue of corruption, social
displacement, conflict and resistance- Social psychology to study the social trauma and impact
of the disaster- Medicine to study the impact of the mud spill exposure to
health (health hazards). Other disciplines?

Example (3)
• Department of Architecture and Literary Studies hold biannual seminar on civic space
• Research the relations between technology and culture; between space (architecture) and life style of a social group; between literary representation and monetary system.

Why interdisciplinary research? (1)
• Social problems are multi-dimensional, and requires an understanding beyond the confines of one discipline
• Interdisciplinary research has more impact as it reaches wider audience
• The nature of more advanced research is interdisciplinary (compare S1-S2-S3 level of research).

Why interdisciplinary research? (2)
• Interdisciplinary research is appealing for international funding and publication
• Interdisciplinary research collaboration opens up new perspectives (knowledge, training), sets up new network
• Interdisciplinary research moves researchers out of “territorial comfort zones”

Interdisciplinary research
• Individual researcher can do interdisciplinary research by incorporating concepts from other disciplines
• Collaborative research can be done by scholars from different discipline in dealing with one research problem.

Framework of interdisciplinary research
• Expand knowledge by engaging with other discipline(s) or concepts from other fields in order to understand problem from different perspectives
• Building a theoretical framework which allows the weaving of concepts from different disciplines to create new solution/approach to a problem

How to formulate interdisciplinary research problem?
• Identify one issue (research problem) of a multi-dimensional nature.
• Identify how the problem/issue was discussed by previous scholarship
• Examine the loopholes and shortcomings of previous scholarship.
• Find possibilities in dealing with the issue by reading across other disciplines.
• Discuss with scholars of other disciplines• Familiarize yourself with many theoretical framework –
from various fields.• Read journal articles of interdsiciplinary nature• Consider new perspective in dealing with the issue
