36 Interdisciplinary: overused, under-enacted? Interdisciplinary is a word that is overused and under-enacted. It is in danger of going the way of sustainability, a word so hackneyed by every university wishing to cash in on its cachet that it has become meaningless. Robert N. Shelton, Ph.D. President, U. of Arizona
