For those of you interested in delving more deeply into the caverns of transdisciplinarity, I've compiled a bibliography here of more than sixty sources related to the topic.
As I wrote in the introduction to the readings: "Cultural, educational, and science studies
predominate, as do questions of epistemology and methodology. Writers also
touch on anthropology, economics, management, sustainability, women’s studies,
and writing. I have left off an extensive literature where transdisciplinary
perspectives are applied to health care, early childhood studies, and sustainability,
as these fields would require bibliographies in themselves."
"In terms of chronology, the sources range from the early precursors of transdisciplinary thinking through first efforts to theoretical developments in the 1980s. Three key publications in 1994 mark the beginning of sustained growth in the field. Half of the sources are from 2000 and later where the richness and diversity of the discussion really takes off. Anyone should be able to find some entry-point into the literature that would interest them and can work out from there; the fourteen on-line resources are obviously the easiest to obtain."
So start your spelunking!
Hey, thanks for the links to t-books. Some of the references will be really useful for a lit review on our claremontconversation.org project.
