The Value of Being a Discipline Wanderer and Wonderer: Learning from the Children

This paper critically reviews my interdisciplinary position discussing the challenging nature of situating ourselves within the different disciplines we inhabit. It reflects on the formation of my different discipline identities taking into consideration my professional collaborations and what I learned through a child adult partnership during my PhD at Goldsmiths. It discusses the challenges of promoting continuous “diffraction” in our individual approaches and looking through the lenses of child play and the act of making offers some suggestions on how to be discipline wanderers and wonderers.
