About this title

Synopsis

To solve real-world issues, the model of transdisciplinary research, which approaches from both the hard and social sciences, has recently come to the forefront. By integrating multiple disciplines as well as the expertise of partners from the societal practice, researchers are able to look at a problem from many angles, with the goal of making both societal and scientific advances. Methods for Transdisciplinary Research provides scholars with a model for conceptualizing and executing this type of work, while offering a systematic description of methods for knowledge integration that can be applied to any field, making it an indispensible guide for every transdisciplinary researcher and teacher.
