transdisciplinary education an answer to McIntosh

Reading this essay made me think about how collaborative this was. It seemed like a partial answer to McIntosh's and Sosnoski's challenge to create a phase 5 compassionate, commited, collaborative, concurrent and community-generated education. Perhaps by collaborating across disciplines we can create a diverse enough community to answer the problems of singular disciplines in educating students.

 

Do the authors think that all education should be interdiciplinary? Or perhaps alternate or create another interdiciplinary field? Learn disciplines as usual, but also connect across disciplines with others simultaneously. Is this simply the next step in liberal arts education (the first step in valuing and requiring students to take classes from many disciplines).
