Abstract
Knowledge construction is one of the primary responsibilities of universities through their research
investigations. These research investigations in specific fields of knowledge have enabled the
researchers to concentrate on the specialized nature of knowledge. On the contrary, this race of
specialization has developed a misconception among the stakeholders that knowledge of different
fields lacks integrations and that it goes on separately. But actually, it’s not true new knowledge of
one field directly influences the knowledge construction of another field. In this regard, the best
approach to further enhance the quality within the limited resources is to adopt an interdisciplinary
research approach. It enables the researchers to explore a single phenomenon from multiple
perspectives. As a review paper, efforts were made to explore multiple literacies that could support
the interdisciplinary research in the universities of Pakistan. After a thorough review of the concept of
multiple literacy and its relationship with interdisciplinary research the researchers reached to the
conclusions that interdisciplinary research contributes positively in promoting interdisciplinary
faculty relationships and joint ventures in exploring the unseen facts. Furthermore, multiple literacies
are powerful indicators in promoting interdisciplinary research culture and disciplinary literacy of
faculty. Multiple literacy theory emphasizes the componential development of language development
which is a cornerstone for multiple literacies. Faculty literacy in Information Communication
Technology (ICT), Statistics and critical thinking/ problem solving skills are foundational for multiple
literacy of faculty.
