Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Global Challenges in the 21st Century

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Global Challenges in the 21st Century presents an interdisciplinary examination of major challenges confronting contemporary society. The book explores climate change, global health crises, technological disruption, artificial intelligence, digital inequality, migration, and social justice, emphasizing their interconnected nature and the limitations of single-discipline approaches.

The discussion extends to education and its transformation in response to technological, environmental, social, and cultural change. It addresses digital learning, Islamic education and science, local wisdom-based physics education, Paralympic sport, inclusive non-formal education, AI and sustainability, curriculum transformation, and vocational education. The book also proposes an interdisciplinary Islamic framework for child sexual abuse prevention, integrating ethical, educational, psychological, public health, institutional, and digital perspectives.

Overall, the book argues that global challenges are inherently interconnected and require systemic thinking, cross-disciplinary collaboration, ethical reflection, and adaptive educational responses. It positions interdisciplinary knowledge as an essential foundation for developing informed, inclusive, sustainable, and socially responsible responses to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
