Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Failures

Unlike other volumes in the current literature, this book provides insight for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary researchers and practitioners into what doesnt work. Documenting detailed case studies of project failure matters, not only as an illustration of experienced challenges but also as projects do not always follow step-by-step protocols of preconceived and theorised processes.

Bookended by a framing introduction from the editors and a conclusion written by Julie Thompson Klein, each chapter ends with a reflexive section that synthesizes lessons learned and key take-away points for the reader. Drawing on a wide range of international case studies and with a strong environmental thread throughout, the book reveals a range of failure scenarios for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects, including:

• Projects that did not get off the ground
• Projects that did not have the correct personnel for specified objectives
• Projects that did not reach their original objectives but met other objectives
• Projects that failed to anticipate important differences among collaborators

Illustrating causal links in real-life projects, this volume will be of significant relevance to scholars and practitioners looking to overcome the challenges of conducting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.

Dena Fam is Associate Professor and Research Director at the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology Sydney. She has a decade of experience developing transdisciplinary programmes and projects with an interest in negotiating the challenges of cross sectoral integration of knowledge.

Michael ORourke is Professor of Philosophy and faculty member in AgBioResearch and Environmental Science and Policy at Michigan State University. He is Director of the Center for Interdisciplinarity and Director of the Toolbox Dialogue Initiative, an NSF-sponsored research initiative that investigates philosophical approaches to facilitating interdisciplinary research.

Cara Beal is an Associate Professor in Environmental Health at the School of Medicine at Griffith University, Queensland, and the Cities Research Institute. Cara teaches and researches in the fields of sustainable environmental management; environmental health; water, sanitation, hygiene; and socio-technically driven behaviour change. Although her research background is in the physical sciences, Cara has recognized the critical role that human behaviour and environmental psychology play in achieving truly sustainable, inclusive, and transformative outcomes for global planetary health and wellbeing. Apart from urine-diverting toilets, Cara has been involved in a number of innovative socio-technical research topics including the introduction of high-resolution smart water and energy meters in peri-urban subdivisions and remote First Nations communities in Australia, and the use of digital/geospatial tools to improve community water management in rural Pacific Island villages.

Bill Bellotti has more than 30 years experience in leading agricultural production system research in southern Australia, western China and eastern India. His expertise includes agronomy, climate variability and change, farming systems and integrated approaches to food systems. Professor Bellotti's research in China and India has focused on sustainability and food security, and more recently on the linkages between diversification of cropping systems, dietary diversity and empowerment of women farmers. His research interests include the application of Life Cycle Assessment approaches to Australian food systems. This interest includes the development of concepts such as sustainable diets and food footprints. At the Global Change Institute, he looks forward to engaging the diversity of views and expertise across the University of Queensland and other stakeholders to promote more healthy, sustainable and equitable food systems.
