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.
A venue for interdisciplinary thinking
Interdisciplinary Science Reviews publishes specialist reviews on the foundations, methods, pedagogy, policy, and leadership of interdisciplinarity.
To mark its 50th anniversary, the journal has launched Project 50: a programme of initiatives championing the history and promise of interdisciplinarity.

An editorial vision born at LIS

Mattia Gallotti
Editor-in-Chief, ISR
Mattia is the Editor-in-Chief and a Founding Faculty member at LIS. Since joining from the LSE in 2019 he led on research, faculty development, and academic growth at the London Interdisciplinary School. A philosopher by training, he teaches and researches topics on the relationship between mind and society, and the methodology of interdisciplinary integration.

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.

Steve Fuller
Associate Editor, ISR
Steve is Auguste Comte Professor of Social Epistemology at the University of Warwick and an LIS Fellow. 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. Steve first published in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews in 1997 and has sat on the board since 2008.
