Creating Living Knowledge: Lessons learned from an 8 year programme of transdisciplinary research

What are the benefits and risks of large interdisciplinary collaborations? In this lunch webinar from SLU Future Food, Keri Facer, professor of the Educational and Social Futures program at the University of Bristol, shares her experiences from the UK's Connected Communities programme. Keri Facer discusses what emerged from the programme, the risks and benefits of this sort of collaborative work, and where her interests now lie – in particular, in the creation of transformative conversations about sustainability transitions.

Keri Facer currently holds an August T Larsson visiting professorship at SLU for three years. She has 20 years of interdisciplinary research behind her. In this talk, she will discuss the interdisciplinary work in the UK’s Connected Communities programme, which she led for 6 years from 2012–2018.
