Abstract:
The fields of business and medicine contain many examples of the utility of multi-disciplinary teamwork. We undertook research on GENEROSITY using a multi-disciplinary, team-based approach to conceptualizing “generous practice” and to learn about the practice of in-depth interviewing in social science. Commentary on developing undergraduate research teams suggests that, with structure, such teams can be effective learning modalities for peer-to-peer mentoring and undergraduate research.
