Call for participation: What makes a method a good itd method?

ITD Alliance

This small- and large-group event provides a platform to discuss questions on the ‘rigour’ of inter- and transdisciplinary (itd) methods with theorists and practitioners around the world. We base the discussion on the assumption that inter- and transdisciplinarians need to justify the validity, trustworthiness, utility, and overall appropriateness of their methods. We are challenged to establish robust and coherent descriptions of methods, to enhance the traceability of itd methods and to establish joint quality criteria. Guided by discussion questions, we will explore how we express our commitment to ‘rigour’ in itd research, generate guidance for choosing and documenting the application of methods, as well as join our forces to enhance the acknowledgment of itd methods within academia. The goal of our discussions is to generate a list of key questions that must be researched or problems that must be solved to advance future conversations on ‘rigour’ of itd methods. Participants will be invited to form working groups to start addressing these questions and problems.

Deadline: 24. January 2023

Call for Members: Swiss Young Academies

Swiss Young Academies Swiss

As a rule, the Swiss Young Academy has 25 - 30 members from different scientific disciplines and universities. Prerequisites for the five-year membership are outstanding achievements at university level, motivation and willingness to show a high level of commitment and a keen interest in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary cooperation and a connection to research, education and innovation in Switzerland.

Diversity and inclusion are as central to the work of the Swiss Young Academy as is equal opportunity. We therefore welcome applications from academics from underrepresented groups in the higher education landscape. When selecting our members, we also pay special attention to diversity in terms of language regions, gender, academic disciplines, types of higher education institutions, academic degrees and age.

Call for papers - Interdisciplinary Conference 2023

Chelmsford campus

Interdisciplinary study offers an opportunity to forge a community of learning within a space where disciplinary knowledge and experiences can be shared and explored. Within this space ideas are communicated and shared, with opportunities for self-reflection and the prospect of growing inclusive values and behaviour.

The organisers invite submissions for short papers (15 minutes), hands-on workshops, and poster presentations. We are looking for submissions that report on practical experience where interdisciplinarity has had impacts on student outlook, action and vision. If the nature of education is to transform an individual by requiring them to engage with and explore new ideas, then how does interdisciplinarity help to achieve this aim? What steps are taken to get students to think more widely? In what ways does interdisciplinary study encourage students to think critically, independently and empathetically?

Deadline: 21. December 2022 (A limited number of spaces are still available, if you would like to submit.)

Call for Abstracts: Transforming Consumption-Production Systems Toward Just and Sustainable Futures

SCP-Conference 23

This inter- and transdisciplinary conference will provide a crucial opportunity to discuss recent advancements in sustainable consumption and production (SCP). It will provide a platform for building and enhancing connections between research, practice, and policy to increase understanding and action of how to move transformations to SCP forward.

Transformative social change is more likely at a confluence of a political window of opportunity. We may be facing this confluence now. On the political front, the IPCC report provides a new framing for political and policy debate, and for explicitly making sustainable consumption key to progress towards sustainable futures. The Covid pandemic has demonstrated that lifestyle changes are not beyond the realm of possibility. On the research front, a growing body of interdisciplinary work has uncovered how various aspects of the social and material world impede or enable lifestyle changes, with important insights for modelling transformations toward just, equitable and sustainable systems of production and consumption.
