Veronica Boix Mansilla
Biographical Information
Veronica Boix Mansilla is a Principal Investigator in the Interdisciplinary Studies
Project at Project Zero, an educational research group at Harvard’s Graduate School of
Education. Her work is funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies Foundation. Her research
examines the cognitive, social and epistemic dimensions of interdisciplinary work. It
explores how human beings enhance their understanding of complex problems by using
the lenses of disciplines like history, science, or the arts, or by combining disciplinary
approaches in novel ways. She studies the challenges of research, and program evaluation
at interdisciplinary crossroads. Working within a novice-expert psychological paradigm
her research considers the work of experts, faculty, and students in exemplary institutions
and programs in pre-collegiate and higher education. Building on an empirical understanding
of interdisciplinary work, she develops practical tools to design and evaluate
quality interdisciplinary education and learning. Read more about the project zero site at
