Lumina Foundation - Degree Qualification Profile

The records of the Association for Interdisciplinary Studies (AIS) have been organized into six series that respect the original order in which they were acquired. The Administrative Series includes all files pertaining to the operation of the Association since its founding in 1979, and especially board meeting minutes, reports, and correspondence. The Subject series contains miscellaneous files on scholarly and administrative activities of the AIS. The Publications series includes not only the AIS journal and newsletter but also flyers and documents produced in the course of the association's publishing activities. The Conference series covers all documents corresponding to the organization of the ASI annual meeting. The Projects series covers other projects managed by the AIS: in 1983, the association conducted a survey of interdisciplinary programs and activities; then, the Philosophy Network strove to identify a definition of "interdisciplinary studies" in 1984-1988; the syllabus project gathered syllabi on the AIS website in the early 2000s. Finally, the Kindred Organizations series includes materials documenting the ASI relationships and collaboration with other organizations.
