The journal Science as Culture is inviting papers for a Special Issue on Interdisciplinary Research on Societal Challenges.
The call for papers welcomes contributions that deal with the following questions:
- How does interdisciplinary research frame the societal challenges that it addresses?
- What choices and judgments are involved in such framing?
- What consequences does the policy-based interwovenness of interdisciplinarity and societal challenges have for research collaboration and relationships with stakeholder groups and their perspectives? For example, are new strategic partnerships created? What are the related trade-offs?
- Given the policy interest in interdisciplinary research around societal challenges, how does this affect the knowledge that is produced by academics who gain the respective funding?
- How does such research address (or not) the original policy drivers?
Abstract deadline: 1 February 2023
