Interdisciplinary Studies combines multiple subjects in order to analyze the world and different issues with a wider lens. Interdisciplinary Studies is powerful because it uses two sources of knowledge and this allows for each subject to assist one another where there may be limits. In interdisciplinary studies, two disciplines integrate in order to be stronger together. Interdisciplinary studies has allowed me to choose the focuses of marketing and communications, and has allowed me to understand their similarities and differences, as well as how they successfully integrate together.
The interdisciplinary map analyzes the phenomena, epistemologies, assumptions, theories and methods. This map demonstrates similarities and differences within the interdisciplinarity.
The disciplinary analysis assignment utilizes the discipline of marketing in order to attempt to solve the problem of conspiracy theories. This assignment also analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of marketing solving this issue.
The interdisciplinary integration calls upon both marketing and communications to solve the problem of conspiracy theories. This integration analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of both individual disciplines and also dives into how interdisciplinarity can be useful in solving problems.
The statement of interdisciplinarity explains my personal path to interdisciplinary studies and why it is important. This piece of work analyzes my interdisciplinarity as a whole, including similarities and conflicts.
The final reflection consists of a summary of all that I have learned in UNIV 301 this summer. I have really enjoyed the in depth study of disciplines and interdisciplinarity.
