Introduction: Learning to Learn from the Complex Interactions and Dilemmas of Field Research -- 1. Objectives and Trust in Ethnographic Research on and with Latin American Indigenous Peoples -- 2. Transdisciplinary Challenges in the Process of Co-producing Transformation Research with Small-scale Fishers: Case Studies from Chile and Poland -- 3. Conversations in a Conservation Area in Mozambique -- 4. Adjusting the Research Agenda to Local Realities: Experiences from Chile -- 5. Cultural Iceberg: The Challenge of Building Comprehensive Knowledge for Social and Environmental Interventions in Vulnerable Communities in Buenos Aires -- 6. Are There Lessons to Be Learnt? A Comparative Study Ethical Challenges between Community-Based Participatory Research and Case Studies in Sweden and Norway -- 7. Reflections on a Process of Research with Reindeer Herding Communities in Sweden's Norbotten
Summary: In response to the call for actionable and collaborative solutions-oriented research for sustainability, this collection of essays provides insights into the multi-layered challenges that underlie this fast-emerging field. It offers the reader a deeper understanding of the myriad local avenues where knowledge is co-produced to meet the grand challenge of our timestransformation to sustainability. Situated within a wide variety of research settings in the global North and South, the contributions here variously probe how actionable science emerges (or fails to emerge) in this process. From diverse perspectives, they ruminate on various research practice topics, including how to reconcile scientific understanding with normative action, how to acknowledge and integrate participant knowledge in research, and how to handle potential negative impacts of actionable science. In examining these rarely reflected-upon questions, the book provides valuable, empirically-based insights into research practice, and will be useful for scholars and educators working with transdisciplinary research design and practice.
