I would decribe interdiciplinary study as the study of a topic from the point of view of different diciplines, not solely through the eyes of your own area of expertise.
The work I am doing fits within my concept of interdiciplinary inquiry because I am looking at foreing films (the arts), from the perspective of the social sciences (health issues, social ills), anthropology and cultural studies (racism, diverse ethnicities and cultural traditions). For me, I find it fascinating because it is difficult to look at a dicipline and not consider other factors and perspectives. It seems as if you're not getting a complete picture otherwise, just a tunnel vision.
