About The Book

The aim of this book is many-folds. The author presents a practical application of multidisciplinary research based on the experience of editing a book comprised of multidisciplinary cases and focusing on linkages to all the areas of practical exposure. There are many theoretical accounts of how one may approach multidisciplinary research, but here the authors aim to offer a practical account of how the theoretical goal of multidisciplinary research can play out in the ‘real world’. After addressing the current conceptual understanding of multidisciplinary versus interdisciplinary research, the authors will explain how useful these concepts, in fact, are when applied to the typical constraints that many academics face today in conducting joint research. The author will provide lessons for future multidisciplinary collaboration and suggestions for developing methods of multidisciplinary research.

The book offers multidisciplinary thinking to students and everyone else interested in understanding the world from a new perspective. This list helps researchers tucked away in their daily grind develop their next breakthrough idea. It also provides an original perspective on a range of controversial issues in educational and social research through case studies of multi-disciplinary and mixed-method research involving children, teachers, schools and communities in Europe and the developing world like India. The case studies from researchers "across continents" and "across disciplines" explore a range of interesting issues, including the relevance of research approaches to very different national settings, and to the kinds of questions being asked; the barriers of language and culture between researcher and researched; articulating the thinking and feelings of very young children; the challenges of dealing with "partiality" of data; issues of identity, subjectivity and reflexivity; and transferring research approaches from one national setting to the problems posed in another.

The book also talks about researches in the area of Tourism, Spacecraft electronics, cassava production technologies among farmers and the growing unicorns in India among other areas of interest. It is a compilation of number of thought process from several burning and growing areas of practical exposure.
