In the context of continuing ecosystem degradation and deepening socio-economic inequality, sustainability scientists must question adequacy current scholarship practice. We argue that pre-occupation with external phenomena collective social structures has led to neglect people's 'inner worlds'-their emotions, thoughts, identities beliefs. These lie at heart actions for sustainability, have powerful transformative capacity system change. The condition inner worlds ought also be considered a...
Abstract Academics are increasingly required to balance the expectations of ‘old’ academy with a future model universities as interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ‘problem solvers’. This paper highlights changing academics in producing alternative research outcomes collaborative, practice‐based research. Through series workshops 20 researchers, preferred tensions achieving these were identified. The identified presented three dichotomies comprising tension between: (a) ‘I versus We’ ‐...
Scenario planning can—if done well—contribute to sustainability science realizing two defining qualities: first, boldly face future social–ecological uncertainties, and second, do so in a way...
Collaborative interdisciplinary research is on the rise but can be difficult and daunting. There much to learn by studying inner workings of collaboration, potential benefit both science technology studies (STS) those who collaborate. We have been a collaborative team using formative accompanying (FAR). Assuming multiple insider-outsider vantage points implied adopting dynamic positionality in relation team. In this article, we outline an approach navigating based these experiences....
In seeking concrete and meaningful practical impact on addressing grand challenges, some management scholars have demonstrated the possibility of researchers convening multi-stakeholder dialogue. But this has not been explored in much detail, furthermore pointed to important constraints tensions that may discourage such engagement. We thus ask, what are affordances associated with dialogue processes? address question by critically reflecting our roles experiences as we convened a 15-year...
Abstract Complex societal and environmental challenges motivate scholars to assume new roles that transcend the boundaries of traditional academic expertise. The present article focuses on specialised knowledge, skills, practices mobilised in context science–policy interfaces by researchers who advise policymakers collaborative governance processes intended address these pressing issues. By working backstage arrangements, support co-design tailor-made strategies for involving groups...
Globally, our societies are riddled with racism and so organisations. While there many excellent “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion” (DEI) practitioners tackling promoting racial equity in organisations, we contend that the language of “diversity” “inclusion” risks diluting impact this work. Something stronger may be required to address racism’s tenacious structural character. We propose thinking about work organisational systems as more fundamentally “dismantling racism.” The dismantling process...
