In the complex world of the 21st century,
Transdisciplinarity, Interdisciplinarity and Multidisciplinarity
are increasingly promoted as means to approach problems and
issues.
All these terms refer to inquiry that brings together theoretical
and methodological perspectives of different disciplines. More
specifically, transdisciplinary research is an increasingly
important approach to inquiry that seeks to go beyond the
boundaries of existing disciplines and bring together the natural
sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts. However,
little is known about the implementation, efficacy, and outcomes of
such approaches.
This workshop brings together experienced presenters from the
natural and social sciences, the arts, business, and government who
have embraced, experimented with, and reflected on the use and
misuses of such transdisciplinary perspectives.
Presentations will address the what, who, when, why and why not of
transdisciplinarity with a view to enhancing our effectiveness in
using a transdisciplinary approach to address current multifaceted
societal challenges.
We anticipate this workshop will be of interest to many here at
不良研究所 regardless of discipline
