The boundaries between disciplines form a fertile ground for creative and innovative research. New knowledge grows in these fields that often does not fit easily into the standard demarcations of academic departments. This type of scholarship asks questions that draw on established bodies of thought while reworking certain connections and concerns in order to explore vibrant and valuable new areas.
