From the latest blog by GSCJ Co-Editor in Chief @urbandavidsimon.bsky.social and guest editor Bianca Vienni-Baptista, exploring #Interdisciplinary and #Transdisciplinary Approaches www.transformingsociety.co.uk/2025/04/30/r...
For all these reasons, substantive ID and TD approaches do not appeal to everyone, particularly in relation to the urgency of tackling problems and spending project funds within a specific financial year. Many professionals and elected representatives accustomed to exercising professional or political authority baulk at the prospect – and reality – of having to sit at the table with a wide range of stakeholders, some of whom may lack any or substantial formal education or professional credentials – and treat and be treated as somehow equals, with or without specialist facilitation.
