2008: Allen Repko: Interdisciplinary Research: Process and Theory. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc.
This book on the interdisciplinary research process is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It features an easy to follow step-by-step approach that is grounded in the relevant scholarly debates on interdisciplinarity, research methods (e.g., quantitative versus qualitative), and epistemology (modernism versus postmodernism). Thus, the book integrates theory and practice. (From the Preface, p. vii).

The study of culture in the American academy is not confined to a single field, but is a broad-based set of interests located within and across disciplines. This book investigates the relationship among three major ideas--interdisciplinarity, humanities, and culture--and traces their convergence from the colonial college to new scholarly developments in the latter half of the twentieth century. Its aim is twofold: to define the changing relationship among these three ideas and, in doing so, to extend present thinking about the concept of "American culture studies." The book includes two sets of case studies--the first on the implications of interdisciplinarity for literary studies, art history, and music; the second on the shifting trajectories of American studies, African American studies, and women's studies--and concludes by asking what impact new scholarly practices have had on humanities education, particularly in the undergraduate curriculum.
