Tackling Wicked Problems Through the Transdisciplinary Imagination: A Comprehensive Guide to Solving Complex Challenges
The world is facing an unprecedented array of complex, interconnected challenges that defy easy solutions. These "wicked problems" range from climate change and economic inequality to systemic racism and global health crises. Traditional approaches to problem-solving have proven inadequate in addressing the scale and complexity of these issues.
In this groundbreaking book, "Tackling Wicked Problems Through the Transdisciplinary Imagination," renowned thought leaders and practitioners offer a transformative approach to confronting these challenges. Through the lens of transdisciplinary imagination, they provide a systematic framework and practical tools for developing innovative, collaborative, and sustainable solutions.
Transdisciplinary imagination is a cognitive process that transcends disciplinary boundaries, embracing diverse perspectives and knowledge systems. It involves the ability to think creatively, flexibly, and critically across fields of study, cultures, and disciplines.
