Interdisciplinary Learning - A Conversation with Ed Fidoe

Ed Fidoe is co-founder and President of the London
Interdisciplinary School. LIS will provide a fully
interdisciplinary undergraduate degree, with students studying
complex problems rather than specific subjects. Students will
graduate with a BASc in Interdisciplinary Problems and Methods.
LIS also runs professional/leadership programmes.


In 2012, with Peter Hyman and Oli de Botton, Ed co-founded School
21, an innovative 4 – 18 school in Stratford, East London,
designed for children from all starting points and backgrounds
(achieved Outstanding Ofsted in 2014).


Ed has advised leaders at Cambridge University, the London School
of Economics along with some of the UK’s most exciting schools
that are exploring new ways of teaching students. He has also
worked with organisations specialised in working directly with
disadvantaged students such as ARK Schools and Teach First.


Ed was also the co-founder of EDSPACE, a co-working space
for innovative education companies. Prior to founding School
21, Ed worked at McKinsey & Co and ran a theatre production
company.
