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.

虽然灾害研究在特定学科的定量、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盘点或研究。鉴于这方面的知识差距，该系列讲习班的中心目标是汇集主要的跨学科研究人员，以推进危害和灾害的跨学科研究的科学和实践。研讨会系列的预期产品是两个明确定义的可交付成果：一个专门用于理解涉及框架和组织跨学科研究的问题的特别期刊，以及一个专注于为跨学科团队开发方法指导的编辑书籍卷。讲习班将涉及来自广泛参与者的广泛学科观点。杂志的发行和编辑卷的目的是让从事或对跨学科灾害研究感兴趣的研究人员了解，帮助推动该领域的发展，教育今世后代，并鼓励正在进行的关于灾害研究方法观点的讨论。这项工作将(1)盘点跨学科的方法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方法；(3)根据跨学科方法确定该领域面临的主要挑战；(4)评估跨学科团队的独特贡献和方法进步；(5)揭示跨学科方法论的实施动态；(6)探讨跨学科研究、教学和下一代指导未来的需求。因此，这两个研讨会和相关的可交付成果将直接有助于解决关于如何、何时、何地以及以何种目的实施跨学科研究的知识差距。这些活动将吸引一个领先的跨学科灾害和灾害研究团队，对跨学科灾害研究的挑战和方法产生新的见解，同时也为从事此类学术活动的团队提供及时的指导。
