Une conférence intitulée « Does the framing matter? On dissent, consensus, and scientific controversies in policy-relevant research » aura lieu le vendredi 22 avril à 16h00 en ligne. Elle sera animée en anglais par le DR. Gunilla Öberg.
Résumé : A large number of areas in society rely on expert knowledge. There is a growing recognition in many countries such as France and former colonial states such as Canada that many of our present-day systems rely on a too narrow definition of relevant and valuable knowledge and expertise. These insights have led to increasing calls for interdisciplinary, trans-academic and cross-cultural competency, which has proven more challenging than anticipated. Drawing on 30-years’ experience of leading and participating in sustainability research in areas of contemporary societal concern, Dr. Öberg will examine common stumbling blocks and ways forward, including the ways in which disciplinary and cultural arrogance hinder the development of common ground and respect for other ways of knowing. She will discuss how a systematic fostering of humility and reflection can be used as a remedy, for example, by scaffolding increased awareness of how differences in thought styles, writing styles, and oral expression impact individual and societal perceptions of rigour, reliability and relevance.
