the Science-Humanities GapNick Branson, Spenser Easterbrook, Aharon WalkerJameson Clarke & Rick Gawne
Data+ Program
Researchers in the humanities generally recognize the importance of doing work that is informed by science. Similarly, most scientists agree that it is important to communicate scientific results to workers in other fields. Although ‘interdisciplinary’ is one of the most frequently used
buzzwords
in the academy, few have made an attempt to quantify the intellectual relationship between the sciences and the humanities.
Research Questions
Has the recent emphasis on interdisciplinary actually changed research practices in the humanities?
Have scientists been successful in communicating their findings to researchers in the humanities?
