Abstract
This paper explores interdisciplinary research (IDR) through the lenses of practice theory and performativity, offering a novel conceptualisation of IDR within management and organisation studies. By drawing on the concepts of Landscapes of Practice (LoPs) and performativity, it examines how interdisciplinary collaborations emerge and evolve across macro and meso levels. The analysis highlights the recursive relationship between theories of interdisciplinarity and situated practices, shedding light on how interdisciplinary work can be enacted, contested, and transformed. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, university administrators, and policymakers to foster effective interdisciplinary practices, addressing the challenges and promises of IDR.
