Theme: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Life

The university community has been putting emphasis on interdisciplinary research and
learning. We embrace interdisciplinary studies in the academic world, as diversity enhances
creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to better
decision making and problem solving. However, are we also leading a multidisciplinary life?

We live in a world where billions of people exist together and have the advantage of
technology to be connected and learn anything they want from the others. The diversity of
occupation, expertise, life experience, religion, race, gender, culture etc., are things that are bound
to be different from person to person that we meet. When people are brought together to solve
problems in groups, they bring different information, opinions and perspectives. This makes
obvious sense when we talk about diversity of disciplinary backgrounds—think again of the
interdisciplinary team building a car. Now is the time to embrace this diversity, and encourage
people to step out of their own discipline, profession or comfort zone, and experience the positive
influence of informational diversity.
