work are less to do with obvious structural issues, and more to do
with fuzzy, opaque zones of feelings, emotions and social
interaction? What if interdisciplinarity is hard not so much
because everyone has their own perspective, and distinctive
methods, but because everyone has differing levels of access to
power, influence and money? How would our understanding of – and
capacity to improve – interdisciplinary research change if we
focused less on funders and journals and universities, and more on
the mundane, day-to-day lives of collaborative researchers?"<br>
