While there have been many advances in disciplinary-specific quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches for disaster research, interdisciplinary methods in the field have not yet been sufficiently inventoried or studied. In light of this gap in knowledge, the central objective of the workshop series is to bring together leading interdisciplinary researchers to advance the science and practice of interdisciplinary research for hazards and disasters. The expected products of the workshop series are two clearly defined deliverables: a special journal issue dedicated to understanding issues involved in framing and organizing interdisciplinary research, and an edited book volume focused on developing methodological guidance for interdisciplinary teams. The workshops will engage a broad range of disciplinary perspectives from a wide array of participants. The journal issue and edited volume will be designed to reach researchers engaged in or interested in interdisciplinary disaster research, helping to advance the field, to educate current and future generations, and to encourage ongoing discussions of methodological perspectives on disaster research.This work will (1) inventory interdisciplinary methodological approaches and associated epistemological and theoretical underpinnings used across the disaster life-cycle; (2) assess the theoretical and methodological approaches used to form and sustain interdisciplinary teams; (3) identify the major challenges that the field faces in terms of interdisciplinary methods; (4) assess the unique contributions and methodological advances of interdisciplinary teams; (5) reveal the dynamics of implementing an interdisciplinary methodological approach; and (6) discuss interdisciplinary research, teaching, and next generation mentoring needs moving forward into the future. As such, the two workshops and associated deliverables will directly help to address gaps in knowledge regarding how, when, where, and to what ends interdisciplinary research is implemented. The activities will engage a team of leading interdisciplinary hazards and disaster researchers, resulting in new insights into the challenges and methods of interdisciplinary disaster research while also providing timely guidance for teams engaged in this type of scholarly activity.

虽然在灾害研究的特定学科定量、定性和混合方法方面取得了许多进展，但该领域的跨学科方法尚未得到充分的清点或研究。鉴于这一知识差距，系列讲习班的中心目标是汇集领先的跨学科研究人员，推动危害和灾害跨学科研究的科学和实践。系列讲习班的预期成果是两个明确界定的可交付成果：一个是专刊，致力于了解跨学科研究的框架和组织所涉及的问题，另一个是编辑成册，重点是为跨学科小组制定方法指南。讲习班将从广泛的参与者的广泛学科角度进行讨论。该期刊和编辑本的目的是接触从事或有兴趣从事跨学科灾害研究的研究人员，帮助推动该领域的发展，教育当代和后代，并鼓励对灾害研究的方法论观点进行持续讨论，这项工作将：（1）清点跨学科方法论方法以及在灾害生命周期中使用的相关认识论和理论基础;（2）评估用于组建和维持跨学科团队的理论和方法论方法;（3）确定该领域在跨学科方法方面面临的主要挑战;（4）评估跨学科团队的独特贡献和方法进步;（5）揭示实施跨学科方法的动态;和（6）讨论跨学科研究，教学，和下一代辅导需要向前迈进到未来。因此，这两个研讨会和相关的交付成果将直接有助于解决关于如何，何时，何地以及为了什么目的进行跨学科研究的知识差距。这些活动将使一个领先的跨学科危害和灾害研究人员团队参与，从而对跨学科灾害研究的挑战和方法产生新的见解，同时也为参与这类学术活动的团队提供及时的指导。
