A Transfer-Based Framework for
Interdisciplinary Communication, Teaching, and Research
Denise Comer
Transfer consists of the ways in which people
reshape, adapt, rethink, and challenge what they
understand and learn in one context to other contexts.

also provides a crucial framework for faculty,
administrators to use in navigating the dynamic,
intersecting, and disparate contexts of academia. A
transfer framework invites faculty, administrators,
and students to actively engage with, reflect on, and
position themselves within and across varying and
overlapping domains. Doing so can facilitate
increased networks of collaboration, cultivate more
robust advances in knowledge and research methods,
improve pedagogy, and increase student learning
gains. Full Text
