re multidisciplinaryanism or interdisciplinarianism

I actually meant interdisciplinarianism, rather than multidisciplinarianism, as urgently needed.
The current issue of the Stetson U Magazine nicely illustrates the distinction, and some of its confusions, in that a mere liberal education, (the issue's topic, whether liberal education is dead), is not enough.
Thus, one can see why mere casual multidisciplinarianism, which I equate to what is often meant by a liberal education, is dying, from irrelevance.
Some of the contributors equate the two, which is not appropriate.
