Meaning and Manifesto: Embracing Transdisciplinarity in SoTL

Abstract

This critical reflective essay works to provide a framework of transdisciplinarity in SoTL (the meaning) which considers how this foundational value can be further conceptualized and integrated across multiple facets of SoTL scholarship, people, and practices. We make the case that through the power of dialogue, we can transform, even transcend, prior norms of academia (the manifesto) through the fostering of diverse ways of knowing (scholarships); the forging of transcendent and boundary-less connections (communities) and the propagation of knowledge through open, inclusive, and burgeoning co-creation (pedagogy).
