Abstract
Collaborative research and learning—across disciplines and societal sectors—is critical to addressing complex health and social problems. There is an increasing focus on such transdisciplinary approaches in the scientific literature, teaching and program interventions. However, there is often skepticism and critique from researchers in established disciplines about the value of, and scientific basis for, transdisciplinary work. This chapter traces the emergence of transdisciplinary work from two perspectives: as a pragmatic approach to solving complex, or “wicked” problems, and as a reflection of newer theoretical views about ontology and epistemology.
