Sustained Change: Institutionalizing Interdisciplinary Graduate Education
Borrego, Maura; Boden, Daniel; Newswander, Lynita K.
Journal of Higher Education, v85 n6 p858-885 Nov-Dec 2014
We employ Scott's three pillars of institutions (regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive) to investigate how higher education organizations change to support interdisciplinary graduate education. Using document analysis and case study approaches, we illustrate how strategies which address both policies and cultural norms are most successful.
