Walking in two worlds: Insights from implementing a Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in approach to bridging knowledge systems in conservation and land use planning
Efforts to bring together Indigenous and Western science systems of knowledge have been ongoing for decades. In light of challenges related to knowledge integration, which have typically resulted in the favoring of Western knowledge systems at the expense of Indigenous knowledge, efforts to bridge these knowledges have expanded. Within such approaches, the two knowledge systems exist independently; one is not controlled or validated by the other.…
Evaluating transdisciplinary research practices: Insights from social network analysis
Transdisciplinary researchers collaborate with diverse partners outside of academia to tackle sustainability problems. The patterns and practices of social interaction and the contextual nature of transdisciplinary research result in different performance expectations than traditional, curiosity-driven research. Documenting patterns of interaction can inform project success and affirm progress toward interim outcomes on the way to achieve sustain…
Identifying transformational space for transdisciplinarity: Using art to access the hidden third
A challenge for transdisciplinary sustainability science is learning how to bridge diverse worldviews among collaborators in respectful ways. A temptation in transdisciplinary work is to focus on improving scientific practices rather than engage research partners in spaces that mutually respect how we learn from each other and set the stage for change. We used the concept of Nicolescu's "Hidden Third" to identify and operationalize this transform…
Care, Cooperation and Activism in Canada's Northern Social Economy
"People across Canada's North have created vibrant community institutions to serve a wide range of social and economic needs. Neither state-driven nor profit-oriented, these organizations form a relatively under-studied third sector of the economy. Researchers from the Social Economy Research Network of Northern Canada explore this sector through fifteen case studies, encompassing artistic, recreational, cultural, political, business, and economi…
Gender, Decision Making, and Natural Resource Co-management in Yukon
Across the Canadian North, resource co-management has become a central institution for the management of natural resources. Although many multidisciplinary studies have examined the various social and political dimensions that influence the effectiveness of resource co-management, little has been done to understand how gender might affect collaboration and decision making. This gap is particularly evident in the northern Canadian context, where w…
