This book is distinctive in its practitioner-oriented perspective, authored by the very academic staff who designed, delivered and sustained the LANS programme between 2014 and 2025. Drawing from direct experience, institutional memory, student narratives and programme documentation, the book provides a comprehensive view ‘from the inside’ of what it takes to create and maintain an interdisciplinary programme in a large, research-intensive university. The book will be of interest to academics, leaders and practitioners involved in curriculum design, liberal arts, institutional strategy, educational leadership and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvelyn Svingen \u003c\/strong\u003eis Associate Professor of Criminology in the Department of Social Policy, Sociology and Criminology, University of Birmingham, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLloyd Jenkins\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Historical and Cultural Geography in the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIlija Rašović\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Nanomaterials and Interdisciplinary STEM Education in the School of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Birmingham, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032444059\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62349771210892,"sku":"9783032444059","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032444059","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
