Commentary highlights the importance of epistemological maturity in interdisciplinary education, suggesting integrative research methods.
This commentary, building on the work presented in Iris van der Tuin's (2025) edited volume, reflects on how the conceptual and empirical foundations for interdisciplinary education have been constructed over decades and considers the current epistemological maturity of the field. Recognising the field's current pluralistic ethos and openness to multiple perspectives, the commentary advocates for a more integrative and nuanced epistemological stance that facilitates systemic and context-sensitive decision-making in interdisciplinary teaching and learning. To support this transition, the commentary suggests exploring the potential of integrative and ecologically inspired research methods.
