4 types of constructive dialogue for interdisciplinarity

by Gabriele Bammer

4 types of constructive dialogue for interdisciplinarity are discussed by Rebecca Freeth and Liz Clarke in their revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2018/11/06/skilful-integration-conversations/. They are 1) serial monologue which requires skills to express ideas in ways that those from different disciplines can understand, 2) engaged monologue to exchange perspectives which requires listening skills, 3) reflective dialogue to better appreciate others' perspectives; skills required include self-reflexivity, empathy, capacity to enquire, 4) generative dialogue to build common ground; skills required include tolerance of confusion, complexity, tension, delayed gratification. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

by Gabriele Bammer

14 strategies for providing trusted advice to decision makers are described by Chris Cvitanovic and Rebecca Shellock in their blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/07/27/trust-at-science-policy-interface/. They are: 1) ensure process is transparent, 2) do not advocate for specific outcome, 3) have regular contact, 4) demonstrate independence, 5) acknowledge risks & limitations, 6) ensure data quality control, 7) get advice independently reviewed, 8) do not defend advice, 9) allow time for trust to form, 10) ensure those generating advice are experts, 11) listen & accept feedback, 12) share successes, 13) provide advice requested, 14) be mindful of political sensitivities. They also provide 5 steps to repair damaged trust: (i) be honest about mistakes made, (ii) identify how occurred, (iii) make sure won't re-occur, (iv) correct mistakes, (v) give it time. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Effectively planning stakeholder engagement

by Gabriele Bammer

Effectively planning stakeholder engagement is discussed by Michelle Banfield in her revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2018/10/23/stakeholder-engagement-flexible-framework/. Consider who to involve, at what stage/s in research to involve them & level of involvement of different stakeholders at each stage. Choose level of involvement from consultation, advice, joint planning, delegated responsibility & stakeholder control. Vary level of involvement as appropriate for stage of project & for different stakeholder skills & experience; modify as needed. Also: 1) allocate plenty of time & resources, 2) reimburse stakeholder expenses, 3) avoid tokenism & use stakeholder recommendations & 4) document assumptions & expectations, ie what aiming for, what is fixed & what is flexible, & encourage discussion of these. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Publications About Women, Science, & Engineering Over a 46 Year Period

by Mary Frank Fox

Publications about Women, Science, and Engineering: Use of Sex and Gender in Titles over a Forty-six-year Period <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353297618_Publications_about_Women…>(Direct Link) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353297618_Publications_about_Women…> M. F. Fox, D. Roldan, G. Sonner, A. Nabors, S Bartel /Science, Technology, & Human Values/ July, 2021 *Abstract*: This article focuses on key features of the use of sex and gender in titles of articles about women, science, and engineering over an important forty-six year period (1965-2010).The focus is theoretically and empirically consequential.Theoretically, the paper addresses science as a critical case that connects femininity/masculinity to social stratification; and the use of sex and gender as an enduring, analytical issue that reveals perspectives on hierarchies of femininity/masculinity. Empirically, the article identifies the emergence, development, and stabilization of published articles about women, science, and engineering that use sex and gender in their titles.The distinctive method involves search, retrieval, and review of 23,430 articles, using inter-coder reliabilities for inclusion/exclusion.This results in a uniquely specified and comprehensive set of articles on our subject, and the identification of titles with sex and gender.Findings point to 1) the growth of gender titles; 2) their increase in every field; 3) differing concentrations of sex and gender titles in journals; 4) a span of telling topic areas; and 5) higher citation rates of gender, compared to sex, titles.Broader implications appear in reasons for the growth of gender titles; meanings of topic areas that occur; insights into social inequalities and science policies; and emerging complexities of non-binary categories of sex/gender.

Fw: Reinvigorating the Scientific Enterprise

View this email in your browser<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mailchi.mp/nas/newsletter20210716?e=c5b…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/e8ed2d21703b877983dcb81b3/images/d3cf56fb-a1d…] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://issues.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?…> Envisioning the Next 75 Years of Science Policy “Since the end of World War II, a particular conception of the relationship between scientific research and societal benefits has dominated US science and technology policy,” write Robert Conn, Michael Crow, Cynthia Friend, and Marsha McNutt in the opening essay of our new collection of articles on the Next 75 Years of Science Policy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://issues.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?…>. That conception was, of course, the idea that federal funding of basic science at universities would ultimately benefit society by ensuring “our health, prosperity, and security as a nation in the modern world,” in the words of Vannevar Bush, the architect of postwar science policy in the United States. The particularities of this promise have long been explored in Issues. There is no doubt that federal support of basic research has transformed our world, leading us now to the pressing question of how to reconfigure science policy—and perhaps the way we do science itself—for the future. Is that “particular conception” right for the reality we face? Over the next year, Issues will be publishing dozens of ambitious, challenging, and innovative proposals on how to structure the resources of science to enable the best possible future. Contributors will include everyone from recognized global leaders to early career researchers, policymakers, businesspeople, and our readers, creating a forum for the exchange of ideas about reinvigorating the scientific enterprise.

Lessons for complexity from integrating engineering and economics to tackle AI

by Gabriele Bammer

What addressing complex problems requires is discussed by Sergio Mariotti in his blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/07/13/natural-and-human-sciences-alliance/. He uses the integration of engineering & economics to address the challenges of artificial intelligence to as an example of unified knowledge based on plurality, diversity and multiple perspectives. He argues for more holistic learning, scholars well rooted in their own discipline but open to tackling such problems and institutional bridges plus huge funds that eschew lower short-term R&D productivity for greater likelihood of generating new radical knowledge. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
