Abstract
Interdisciplinary scholars are finding homes in numerous programs and departments across college campuses, and universities throughout the world are embracing the idea of interdisciplinarity. But is academia ready to evaluate interdisciplinary scholarship when it comes to tenure and promotion? Please join this roundtable for an in-depth discussion of what constitutes “excellence” in an interdisciplinary academic career. Everyone from emerging scholars to seasoned professors is welcome and encouraged to attend. A goal is for participants from different programs/departments to refine their ideas into peer-reviewed journal articles on this topic.
