Theme: Innovation in Research Approaches

Back to Conference

The theme: Innovation in Research Approaches solicits panels and papers that engage with the comparison and interaction of approaches. Methodologies relevant to the study of the relationship between people and the sea are particularly those which enable the crossing of boundaries. These are boundaries between disciplines, boundaries between spaces and times, and boundaries between practitioners and academics. This theme thus solicits panels and papers that engage with the comparison and interaction of approaches.

 

Three sub-themes stand out of particular interest, although submissions need not be limited to these areas. The first, in keeping with the keynote address of Daniel Pauly at the previous conference, is how to translate approaches and communicate between disciplines in dealing with coastal and maritime issues that are necessarily inter-disciplinary and cross between practice and research. The second is the specific issue of valuation: how do we reconcile different disciplinary and cultural approaches to the valuation of coastal resources. Third, we wish to solicit papers that engage with the new ecology of resilience thinking and complex social-ecological systems from different disciplinary perspectives. What are the insights and challenges that the new ecology presents to disciplinary ways of seeing the world?
