This is informed by Boix-Mansilla’s1 notion of “integrative leverage”, which suggests that quality work integrates different disciplines/methodologies “to generate a new and preferred understanding”. Expert practitioners of these skills will integrate knowledge and modes of thinking from multiple disciplines or perspectives.
