[Commlist] Transdisciplinary Perspectives on Environment and Communication - edited volume published

Case material on transdisciplinary perspectives on environment and 
communication is captured in our recently published, edited volume -

<https://www.mdpi.com/books/reprint/11140-transdisciplinary-perspectives-on-environment-and-communication>


Cases include city planning, soil fertility, education, water 
governance, biopolitics and biosecurity. The authors employ different 
theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, but they reveal 
common challenges - wicked problems that evade simple definition and 
resist conventional modes of problem solving.


Biological life and political life are intertwined - physical elements, 
an array of actors, and different bodies of information, knowledge 
systems, life experiences, and beliefs. Each case reveals obstacles and 
opportunities that the people studied, and the observing researchers, 
face in communicating effectively within the given setting.


Consistent with the transdisciplinary focus, the volume's selections 
were written and edited to reach readers outside the core disciplines of 
the authors. A synthesizing chapter by the editors identifies an 
emerging pattern across the chapters involving complexity, reflexivity, 
epistemic asymmetry, and engagement.
