We have found these two papers useful in our thinking around engaged research and the importance of including dimensions of equity in our research and practice.
“Equity and sustainability in the Anthropocene: a social-ecological systems perspective on their intertwined futures” by Leach et al. (2018)
“How to build science-action partnerships for local land-use planning and management: Lessons from Durban, South Africa” by Cockburn et al (2016).
These readings and resources have emerged as useful for our work:
Transdisciplinary Field Guide: A guide for academics, staff and graduate students under development through Utrecht University
'Breaking monologues in collaborative research: bridging knowledge systems through a listening‐based dialogue of wisdom approach' by Moreno-Cely et al (2021).
'What’s required for universities to address complex societal challenges?' Blog by David D. Hart and Linda Silka.
