A shared legacy and a vision for the future of interdisciplinarity


The term 'interdisciplinary' turns 100 this year. For half of that century, the journal Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (ISR) has helped shape the direction of interdisciplinary publishing.

This joint milestone celebrates the project of innovating academia through practice – and the beginning of a new course: innovating practice through learning and theory.

This is where LIS meets ISR.

50 years of isr

Interdisciplinary Science Reviews publishes specialist reviews on the foundations, methods, pedagogy, policy, and leadership of interdisciplinarity.

Christopher Usher

Editorial Assistant, ISR

Chris is a graduate of LIS’s founding BASc cohort and the inaugural recipient of the William Morris Award. His work with ISR explores interdisciplinary leadership and the role of identity in shaping vision and culture. His practice draws on design thinking to explore the gap between what interdisciplinarity does and how interdisciplinarians understand themselves, individually, collectively, and culturally.

Trained in history, philosophy, and sociology of science, he is best known for his foundational work in Social Epistemology, which names the journal he founded in 1987. His recent research has focused on the future sustainability of ‘humanity’ as a concept in light of post- and trans-human challenges.
