Abstract

This work in progress presents three ways of approaching the analysis of an empirical research study that explores how faculty developers engage with disciplinary perspectives. As a core element of interdisciplinary work, disciplinary perspectives represent the ways individuals may see and approach a problem based on their unique disciplinary background and training. In this paper, faculty development is framed as interdisciplinary work where faculty developers bring diverse disciplinary backgrounds to their role. This paper aims to evoke reflection on faculty development as an interdisciplinary practice with implications for the professional development and identity of faculty developers.
