Making Research Matter More—Working with Action Research and Film in Sustainability Science
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Advocacy for both critical analysis of social and environmental change and a more solutions-oriented agenda has been a central mission of sustainability science since its inception [1]. To this end, integration of knowledge across disciplinary divides and inclusion of non-academic actors into the research process have been widely promoted (e.g. [2–4]). Aspirations to link knowledge to action do not only bear on processes of knowledge generation, but also on strategies for research outreach.
