The Politics of Transdisciplinarity
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-84968-3 (ISBN)
The volume addresses the complexity of collaborative research at the interface of science, policy and society and sheds light on a common dilemma: researchers and their collaborators tackling issues that require political and knowledge-based control. At the same time, collaborative research that involves diverse publics is difficult to predict or regulate. By examining the interplay of power and knowledge in these collaborations, the book offers insights into how researchers navigate the dilemma of social and epistemic control. This exploration is crucial for understanding the politics of transdisciplinarity. Featuring contributions from various fields including transdisciplinary sustainability studies, science and technology studies, policy analysis, participatory research and more, the book discusses different methodologies, practices, theories, and adaptations in response to the control dilemmas inherent in collaborative research to offer a deeper understanding of the nuanced relationship between power and knowledge within collaborative research.
The Politics of Transdisciplinarity will be a key resource for the reflexive researcher working with collaborative approaches at the interface of science, policy and society. It was originally published as a special issue of Social Epistemology.
Jeremias Herberg is a sociologist and practitioner at the interface of environmental politics and research.

Ulli Vilsmaier is a geographer by training and specialized in inter- and transdisciplinary research and higher education. Her research focuses on designing, accompanying, implementing and evaluating boundary-crossing research and on methods for boundary work and integration. She has significant international experiences with research development and transformations of academic institutions.
