Course description
Our understandings of and practices within research are constantly changing and developing. The conditions for necessary and relevant research transformations are not the least an impact of feminist research efforts. But to go from words to practice in inter/trans/post disciplinary research is a challenge for all involved. The objective of this course is to come to grips with the more fundamental prerequisites for inter- and transdisciplinary research and development. The course is a contribution to the research transforming work where our perception of research concerns how to move from ambitions and dreams to new practices in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary / postnormal research. The course will include three kinds of sessions:
1) lecture-discussion-sessions,
2) group sessions with presentations of students’ papers, where students are given the opportunity to present their doctoral research and receive comments from teachers and co-participants, 3) Thematic group discussions.
