Abstract

Given our current political, economic, social, and cultural contexts that reproduce dominant ideologies and policies that constrain the promises of multiracial democracy, we submit the need to go beyond binary thinking and embrace the complexity of educator preparation and learning through greater study of interdisciplinary, collaborative and intersectional critical methodological approach to reimagine, repair, and remedy towards transformative praxis.
This paper presentation provides a multi-method approach to understanding the current literature on interdisciplinarity in educator preparation in higher education incorporating a collaborative critical systematic literature review and self-study methodology as we studied our own engagement in indisciplinaritiness and collaboration. We present high-quality indicators of both research designs that ensure the interrelated nature of our framework.
