Dancing Backwards, Inching Forwards? A Partial Perspective on the Interdisciplinary Present
Using the metaphor of interdisciplinarity as the junior dance partner, this article offers a personal perspective on why an interdisciplinary approach is not yet fully accepted and embedded in academic research processes. Over the past 25 years, policy and practice discussions around interdisciplinary research may have moved on from why we should do it, to how to do it, but we still do not have the absorptive capacity to do it consistently well .…
Creating interdisciplinary education within monodisciplinary structures
The literature on interdisciplinary higher education is influenced by two overall trends: one looks at the institutional level of specially designed interdisciplinary institutions, while the other assesses individual interdisciplinary educational activities. Much less attention is given to the processes of creating interdisciplinary education initiatives within traditional monodisciplinary universities. In this study, we thus explore how interdis…
Blood, meat, and upscaling tissue engineering
Tissue engineering is a set of biomedical technologies, including stem cell science, which seek to grow biological tissue for a diversity of applications. In this paper, we explore two emergent tissue engineering technologies that seek to cause a step change in the upscaling capacity of cell growth: cultured blood and cultured meat. Cultured blood technology seeks to replace blood transfusion with a safe and affordable bioengineered replacement. …
What's in a name
The case of cultured red blood cells (RBCs) currently being grown in a laboratory for future use in human transfusion raises questions about the ontological status of such products of modern biotechnology. This paper presents results from a six-year ethnographic study involving interviews, focus groups and other forms of engagement with the scientific research team and other stakeholders, including public groups, which sought to understand respon…
A rose by any other name? Transdisciplinarity in the context of UK research policy
The invisible made visible
Expectations for impacts from research create demand for effective knowledge exchange between academic and non-academic settings. This complex process may be facilitated by ‘knowledge intermediaries’. Learning from evaluation can advance recognition of their diverse roles and enhance these interactive relationships connecting research, policymaking and practice. The elusive subtlety of many knowledge exchange processes, which require attitudinal …
Knowledge brokers
Knowledge brokers, entrepreneurs and markets
This paper expands the discussion of knowledge brokerage by connecting it to long-standing debates within the social sciences about the effective transmission of scientifically produced knowledge into the worlds of policy and practice. This longer-term perspective raises some different questions about intermediary roles which are then tested against quantitative data on the attitudes of the producers of social science knowledge and some in-depth …

Expectations for impacts from research create demand for effective knowledge exchange between academic and non-academic settings. This complex process may be facilitated by “knowledge intermediaries”. Learning from evaluation can advance recognition of their diverse, sometimes invisible, roles and enhance these interactive relationships connecting research, policymaking and practice. The elusive subtlety of many knowledge exchange processes, whic…
A Masterclass in interdisciplinarity
Scotland's Science Strategy
Instead, the model promoted by the Executive continues to be one of “academic push” rather than “industry pull” and this paper seeks to demonstrate that the thrust of the Scottish Executive’s science policy document, A Science Strategy for Scotland, from inception, to consultation, to publication, and then to implementation has been on the public sector and on supporting the science base in Scottish universities, without reflecting sufficiently o…
