Abstract

The increasing frequency of multidisciplinary research in science has largely resulted from an effort to address increasingly complex problems, particularly in the realms of medicine, the environment, and materials science. While the focus of multidisciplinary research has been on the sciences, there is a growing call to apply multidisciplinary approaches to the humanities as well. While such calls are largely concentrated on applications to education in the humanities, it is a simple extension to consider such approaches to humanities research as well. It is with such a view that the current report provides a discussion of the evolving multidisciplinary approaches to the study of history, with particular focus on the history of chemistry.
