Introducing interdisciplinary modules in higher education

Join us, along with pioneering colleagues from Anglia Ruskin University, as we explore the experiences and reflections captured in our new book, Introducing Interdisciplinary Modules in Higher Education: Enhancing Sustainability and Student Employability (Routledge, 2025).

We'll share the journey behind the Ruskin Modules – how they were imagined, built, and brought to life – and spotlight the trailblazers who made it happen. You will hear first-hand how these educators challenged convention, navigated complexity, and created opportunities for students to think and learn beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Whether you're curious, cautious, or already on the path, this webinar offers fresh perspectives and practical inspiration for doing interdisciplinarity differently.

The programme will include:

• An introduction from the book editors
• Background to Ruskin Modules
• Meet the Trailblazers
• Hear from the authors about their chapters
• Tips and advice on transitioning to interdisciplinary teaching and learning
• Launch of the Ruskin Modules podcast series

The session is free, and we hope you can join us.
