This week you will use the case study to examine the usefulness of interdisciplinary studies “in the real world.
First, answer these questions:
1. What is the claim/argument/thesis/major finding of the article? (i.e. what is its purpose? what is it trying to convince you of?)
2. What disciplines did the article appeal to/use/integrate?
3. What evidence did the article employ to support its claim/argument/thesis/major finding?
Then: Consider how the findings of the article represent a real world application of interdisciplinary studies. Using specific examples and evidence from the article, explain how an interdisciplinary approach/method/synthesis helped understand the problem or issue in a way that a disciplinary approach or method might not have.
