Socioeconomic Science and Transdisciplinarity: Lessons Learned along the Way

Socioeconomic scientists are essential participants in many applied, transdisciplinary research projects. Transciplinary scientific teamwork includes scientists and scholars across diverse fields such as the arts, humanities, and social, natural, engineering, and computational sciences. They also include members from other sectors: industry; government; Tribal Nations; communities; and non-governmental organizations. Ideally, this teamwork results in deeply integrated research and outputs. However, this type of research is complex and difficult. This talk shares stories and lessons learned regarding best practices from many years of transdisciplinary and team science research.
