Interdisciplinary Statement 

As a journal, we center interdisciplinary research in order to challenge our mindsets, thus expanding our purview and comfort levels as we contest inequities. We believe that education is vital to democracy and engaged citizenship. Yet we know that education, democracy, and citizenship cannot be isolated from engineering, humanities, the arts, agriculture, science, politics, or the many other fields of study. The term interdisciplinary comes from the Latin language: inter, for “in between”, and disciplina, for teaching or knowledge (vocabulary.com). By building relationships across fields, and combining theories, methods, and techniques from different fields, we intend to make academia more inclusive and advance critical thought. In order to step outside traditional research paradigms and disrupt the status quo, we challenge ourselves, our authors, and our readers to expand our mindset; this is a process that should be sought out, revered, and respected within scholarship.
