Transformative Research: Interactions Between Social Sciences, Humanities and Environmental Science
The São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, and the Transatlantic Platform for the Social Sciences and Humanities (TA-P) invite you to the Workshop:
TRANSFORMATIVE RESEARCH: INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SOCIAL SCIENCES, HUMANITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
September 1st, 2015
8h30 – 17h00
Venue: Rua Pio XI, 1500 - Alto da Lapa – São Paulo
The workshop will bring together researchers on Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) and on Environmental Science (ES), to share new approaches to research on the environment.
The goal of the workshop is to understand and to enable multi-disciplinary and multi-sector collaboration in this field, and to explore new ways of tackling complex issues and conducting true collaborative research. One of the motivations of the workshop is to find out how such ways can help these two large fields to better cooperate, at an international level, towards solving problems of scientific, societal and economic relevance.
The workshop is part of the activities conducted by the Transatlantic Platform for the Social Sciences and Humanities (TA-P). Launched in October 2013, TA-P is a collaboration between 13 key humanities and social science funders in South America, North America and Europe. The Platform aims to enhance the ability of humanities and social science funders, research organizations and researchers to engage in transnational collaboration.
Key questions to be asked are: What role can Social Science and Humanities disciplines play in addressing environmental issues. How can ES researchers benefit from these disciplines? By the same token, how can the latter help SSH research on the environment, by providing distinct perspectives of how to attack these issues to prompt social, cultural, political and ethical changes?
The workshop will explore these ideas along two complementary axes:
(a) How new ways of doing SSH research are affecting not only all fields in SSH, but also the ways in which environmental scientists are working.
(b) How initiatives in environmental science (e.g., big data studies on global warming) are prompting SSH researchers to rethink research methods and methodology.
