#835: Conjecture Mapping as a Tool for Transdisciplinary Research Collaboration

Thu Jun 18, 4:15 PM–5:45 PM · Outdoors

Conjecture mapping (CM) to support collaboration across disciplines remains underexplored. Grounded in boundary crossing theory, this study examines the introduction of CM in a transdisciplinary project involving learning scientists and urban planners. Using autoethnographic methods we investigate how the process of CM facilitated academic discourse and collaborative project design. We find CM supported transdisciplinarity, boundary practices, and the attributes of the team, such as a willingness to explore new knowledge spaces together.
