See the conclusion in Black and Thompson, American Teaching About Russia, that the only successful examples of interdisciplinary study involved advanced graduate students, young teachers, and senior scholars. “This suggests that inter-disciplinary study is possible only after a multi-disciplinary knowledge of the area has been acquired, some command of and practice in a disciplinary skill has been developed, and some reflection and maturing of judgment has occurred” (p. 83).
