Disciplines 101 Seminar 1

Disciplines 101 Seminar #1: Positive and Normative Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics

The purpose of this first session was to provide scientific scaffolding to facilitate interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration throughout the project. Mullin and Smith made connections between two different activities in social science and policy and illustrated these connections with examples from coastal policy. McNamara and Murray introduced the language, theories, and methods of nonlinear dynamics that are central to the core questions C-CoAST seeks to investigate and provided examples from coastal systems.
Discipline 101 Seminars

Share “languages,” models, goals & perspectives

The Disciplines 101 Seminars are online gatherings in which researchers with a wide range of disciplinary expertise take turns teaching each other about the fundamental concepts, theories, perspectives, tools, and analytical approaches used in their disciplines. The idea is to spend time getting to know each other’s disciplinary languages in the deep way necessary to catalyze transdisciplinary collaboration. We will focus primarily on learning key disciplinary fundamentals (concepts and theories) most relevant to coastal research. However, participants will also highlight research projects and connections to other coastal research, providing the opportunity to think about common foci through different lenses, with emphasis on the time- and spatial-scale aspects of those lenses. These seminars focus on catalyzing new transdisciplinary academic research, but they are intended to be accessible to a broad audience, and community partners are encouraged to join.
