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.

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.

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.

Publications about Women, Science, and Engineering: Use of Sex and

*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.

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.
