Transformative change means doing things differently
– not just a little more or less of something we are already doing
Transdisciplinarity has been recognized as a new paradigm
… for moving global environmental change research toward new approaches to coproduce the knowledge necessary for transformative change in the search of global sustainability.
The SPSAS on Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change
… is a training opportunity on knowledge co-production to deal with the multidimensional social-ecological crises of the Anthropocene.
Activities and participation
The SPSAS Transdisciplinarity is open mainly to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, traditional knowledge holders and professionals from environmental and social science fields with an interest in sustainability science. Participants are expected to actively contribute to all activities of the School.
The School program includes four modules that cover the following topics: the global environmental change context and essential concepts for understanding it; methodologies and analysis techniques based on transdisciplinarity in social-environmental sciences; transdisciplinary initiatives fostering transformative change in science-policy arenas; and challenges in achieving transformative change.
