A New System
The popular-lecture system of the late 1860s bore only the slightest family resemblance to the institution that Josiah Holbrook had inspired in 1826. Over the years, new features had consistently been introduced to the lecture platform. Changes in program

TRANSDISCIPLINARY STUDIES Volume 6 Series Editors Jeremy Hunsinger, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada Jason Nolan, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada Editorial Board Megan Boler, University of Toronto, Canada Geofrey C. Bowker, Santa Clara University, USA Timothy W. Luke, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA Wendy Martin, Claremont Graduate School, USA Helga Nowotny, Wissenschaftszentrum Wien (Science Center Vienna), Austria Joel Weiss, University of Toronto, Canada Scope Transdisciplinary Studies is an internationally oriented book series created to generate new theories and practices to extricate transdisciplinary learning and research from the confining discourses of traditional disciplinarities. Within transdisciplinary domains, this series publishes empirically grounded, theoretically sound work that seeks to identify and solve global problems that conventional disciplinary perspectives cannot capture. Transdisciplinary Studies seeks to accentuate those aspects of scholarly research which cut across today’s learned disciplines in an effort to define the new axiologies and forms of praxis that are transforming contemporary learning. This series intends to promote a new appreciation for transdisciplinary research to audiences that are seeking ways of understanding complex, global problems that many now realize disciplinary perspectives cannot fully address. Teachers, scholars, policy makers, educators and researchers working to address issues in technology studies, education, public finance, discourse studies, professional ethics, political analysis, learning, ecological systems, modern medicine, and other fields clearly are ready to begin investing in transdisciplinary models of research. It is for those many different audiences in these diverse fields that we hope to reach, not merely with topical research, but also through considering new epistemic and ontological foundations for of transdisciplinary research. We hope this series will exemplify the global transformations of education and learning across the disciplines for years to come.
