SUMMARY:Knowledges Apart: How to Converge Disciplinary, Epistemological and Social Realities?
LOCATION:Room 1.102
DESCRIPTION:Migration, access to natural resources, and social inequality a
 re closely linked phenomena, globally as well as across Southeast Asia. The
  collapse of a dam wall in Champasak Province, Laos, in July 2018, caused a
  major flooding, which dramatically demonstrated the urgency to address the
  interrelatedness of these issues. The tragedy made clear that those who pr
 ofit least from growth-oriented “catching up” development processes often m
 ust bear the highest costs. To provide convincing answers and workable alte
 rnatives to such and other highly relevant problems, intensified exchange a
 nd collaboration across national boundaries, but also across disciplinary a
 nd academic ones is required.\n\nWhile the idea of transcending boundaries 
 to further collaborative knowledge production is at least as old as the bou
 ndaries themselves, methodologies of such collaborations are tagged differe
 ntly across the world, and based on different epistemological traditions. T
 he working concept of transdisciplinarity is an attempt to systematize thes
 e efforts and to encourage ongoing discussion. The KNOTS Erasmus+ project, 
 which started in 2016, aims exactly at that: to connect participatory, coll
 aborative, socially engaged and transdisciplinary concepts, methodologies, 
 and philosophies in research and teaching.\n\nThe panel will discuss the re
 sults of the three years of joint involvement of participating universities
  in Thailand, Vietnam and the EU to draft a transdisciplinary teaching manu
 al, but also look further ahead. The panel invites the presenters to addres
 s questions of commensurability of academic and practical knowledges as wel
 l as scenarios of collaboration under the auspices of an extended regional 
 cooperation, linking the above-mentioned phenomena on the conceptual, analy
 tical and political level. In particular, the panel will discuss challenges
 , which accompany such an endeavour; challenges arising from different perc
 eptions of ‘relevant’ knowledges, different relationships between science a
 nd politics as well as different problem definitions regarding migration, i
 nequality and access to natural resources.
