Cerebrate Goldilock Centre for interdisciplinary dialogue
why GOLDILOCK
The Goldilocks Principle states that something must fall within certain margins, as opposed to reaching extremes. It is used, for example, in the Rare Earth hypothesis to state that a planet must neither be too far away from, nor too close to, the sun to support life. Either extreme would result in a planet incapable of supporting life. Such a planet is often called a Goldilocks planet.
The Goldilocks Principle comes from a children's story, 'Goldilocks and the three bears' in which a little girl found a house owned by three bears. Each bear owned a separate copy of many things, such as food, beds, etc. After testing each of the three, Goldilocks determined that one was always too much in one extreme, one was too much in the opposite extreme, and one was "just right."

Interdisciplinary research and boundary spanning research are two different things.
Boundary spanning is to be the order of the day as specialisations are no more relevant in an interlinked world with exploded knowledge accessible by all everywhere.
Instead what is required and even as a solution to the dismembered thinking of today is the merger of diciplines meeaningfully where the juncture of disciplines is more significant and meaningful than mere nuggets of knowledge isolated from the background especially in the Social Sciences.
The space between two disciplines is the more significant one in a situation where knowledge is exploded and accessible to everyone.
