TextPublisher: London : Lid, [2016]Copyright date: ©2016Description: 271 pages : illustrations ; 22 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781910649558; 1910649554Subject(s): Expertise | Ability | Ability | ExpertiseDDC classification: 658.3 LOC classification: BF378.E94 | .M55 2016Summary: "Have you encountered difficulties describing what you do to other people? Have you ever labelled yourself in order to be understood? Is there a difference in the way that a generalist and a specialist can stay relevant? If you had to design an approach to education fit for the twenty-first century, what would it look like? How do you live a life of meaning if you live in more than one world? During an era still dominated by hyperspecialism and experts with ‘the one right answer’, the neo-generalist defies easy classification. They are tricksters who traverse multiple domains, living between categories and labels. Encompassing rather than rejecting, the neo-generalist is both specialist and generalist. A restless multidisciplinarian, who is forever learning. They bring together diverse people, synthesising ideas and practice, addressing the big issues that confront us in order to shape a better future. They are curious, responsive, connective."--Publisher description.
