Description
Transdisciplinary research (TR) is an emerging field of research in the knowledge society. It relates science and policy in addressing issues such as:
global and local environmental concerns
migration
new technologies
public health
socio-cultural change
This handbook provides, for the first time, a structured overview of the manifold experiences gained in these fields. Twenty-one projects from all over the world present their research approaches, structured along the three phases of a TR project:
problem structuring
problem investigation
bringing results to fruition
Referring to these projects, cross-cutting challenges of TR are discussed, such as:
integration
participation
values and uncertainties
learning from case studies
management
education
A systematic positioning of transdisciplinary research in the development of sciences and humanities, and 15 propositions for enhancing transdisciplinary research situate the contributions in a larger, systematised context. The handbook gives researchers and students an overview of the state of the art in transdisciplinary research.
Audience
Written for students, researchers, and project managers who are planning or are involved in problem-driven, transdisciplinary projects, or are working on the interface of science, society and politics.
