Advancing transdisciplinarity through library–academic collaboration
Libraries are a central part of the academic system, which is increasingly embracing a range of approaches for tackling complex societal and environmental problems, including transdisciplinarity, which is our focus. The systemic, structural and discipline-based challenges that supporting transdisciplinarity poses for academic libraries are outlined, along with how they are compounded by murkiness around what transdisciplinarity is. A case study o…
Leverage zones in Responsible AI: Towards a systems thinking conceptualization
There is a growing debate amongst academics and practitioners on whether interventions made, thus far, towards Responsible AI have been enough to engage with the root causes of AI problems. Failure to effect meaningful changes in this system could see these initiatives not reach their potential and lead to the concept becoming another buzzword for companies to use in their marketing campaigns. Systems thinking is often touted as a methodology to …
Setting parameters for developing undergraduate expertise in transdisciplinary problem solving at a university-wide scale: A case study
As part of a curriculum reform process, The Australian National University (ANU) is introducing a universal undergraduate requirement that responds to decades-long calls for universities to take seriously the development of expertise in the transdisciplinary problem solving required to address the major challenges facing society. Described here are the process and outcomes of the deliberations of the working group tasked with setting parameters f…
Benefits and challenges of focus groups in the evaluation of a new Graduate Entry Medical Programme
Programme evaluation is essential for quality assurance in education. In this paper, we describe our evaluation strategy for the first year of a new medical programme. Although we used multiple methods in the evaluation, the use of the focus group method was core. This paper reports our experiences of focus groups for this purpose. We describe the implementation of the strategy including the development of topic guides, interviewer training, resp…
Human Health and Climate Change: Leverage Points for Adaptation in Urban Environments
The design of adaptation strategies that promote urban health and well-being in the face of climate change requires an understanding of the feedback interactions that take place between the dynamical state of a city, the health of its people, and the state of the planet. Complexity, contingency and uncertainty combine to impede the growth of such systemic understandings. In this paper we suggest that the collaborative development of conceptual mo…
