Scientific meetings across disciplinary boundaries

Interdisciplinarity has become a central strategy in research policy as well
as practice in scientific ventures. Stakes are high for interdisciplinarity;
it is supposed to address, among other things, ostensible knowledge silos in
universities (Petts et al. 2008), the accountability 'gap' of science (Nowotny
et al. 2003), and complex sustainability challenges (Klein 2004). A defining
trait of interdisciplinarity is knowledge integration; interdisciplinarity
entails "bridging and confronting the prevailing disciplinary approaches"
(Huutoniemi et al. 2010, p.80) through collaboration between different
epistemologies, disciplines, and extra-academic actors. Interdisciplinarity
thus highlights the tensions and opportunities that arise as different
knowledge systems are integrated.
The aim of this panel is to explore the concept of 'meeting' in
interdisciplinary endeavors. In its broadest sense, meeting can be conceived
as the process of conjoining and assembling disciplines and knowledges. More
concretely, a meeting can be conceived as a temporally distinct micro-level
event where knowledge is integrated, contested, and made sense of (cf.
Jarzabkowski & Seidl 2008). The research project meeting is often where
interdisciplinarity "happens", through allocation of resources and tasks as
well as dissemination of results. The concept of meeting thus provides an
opportunity to examine 'how' interdisciplinarity is arranged and practiced,
'who' participates in such activities, and 'what' are the outcomes of
knowledge integration.
We look forward to receiving both empirical and theoretical papers that
address meetings (in all meanings of the word) in interdisciplinary research
from various theoretical and disciplinary perspectives.
