This book focuses on the role of transdisciplinarity in addressing crises and other complex problems inside higher education institutions. It argues for enacting transdisciplinary practices in administrative decision-making, programmatic redesign, faculty development, assessment, curricular revision, and social justice initiatives. The authors show how transdisciplinary structures allow institutions to better recognize and address complex issues such as environmental sustainability, general wellbeing, on-campus diversity, equity, inclusivity, and justice. The book draws on evidence gathered from studying the transdisciplinary practices at various schools in the US states of California, Iowa, Arizona, North Carolina, and Nevada. The volume will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers of education studies and higher education institutions. It will also be a great resource for administrators, department and program chairs, educational developers, directors, assessment and institutional effectiveness staff, and student support personnel.
