Can anyone send me (please!) - references to publications - text of your own institution's guidelines regarding the problems of assessing multidisciplinary theses? I have seen passing references to the problem, but nothing substantial. Multidisciplinary research seems to be `desirable' but poorly rewarded (in terms of examiner assessment). What guidelines do other places give examiners? - students? Any help will be appreciated!

Monash Environmental Science tried hard, but eventually got taken over by Geography (now called Geography and Environmental Science). They may have some information/guidelines to share with you.

I am having a hell of a time trying to find sympathetic assessors for my PhD which is multi-disciplinary. And getting your work supervised is another issue, esp at that level. When you get your results, please post again and let us know. David
