About
George P. Batten is a scholar whose work critically examines the dynamics of interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly at the intersection of engineering and scientific practice. His research focuses on how such collaborations reshape research methodologies, pedagogical approaches, and the very production of disciplinary knowledge. In his most cited work, "Outside the ‘comfort zone’: impacts of interdisciplinary research collaboration on research, pedagogy, and disciplinary knowledge production" (2015), Batten presents a compelling case study of an engineering design initiative to build an unmanned underwater robot. Through in-depth interviews with faculty and student participants, he reveals the transformative—and often challenging—effects of stepping beyond disciplinary boundaries. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, offers valuable insights for researchers and educators navigating collaborative projects. Batten’s contributions are particularly notable for their focus on the human and institutional dimensions of interdisciplinary work, making his research essential reading for those interested in the practical realities of team-based innovation in STEM fields.
