Some challenges of interdisciplinarity
Working with different experts in adaptation to climate change stakeholders’ teams
This piece explores dialogue analysis inside a particular ongoing collective work, a regional adaptation to climate change
research-action project in the southern part of Québec province, the Memphrémagog MRC. First, some precision is given to better understand
what it means to work in interdisciplinary contexts such as this one, continuing the development of a terminology to be able to better
identify collaboration between and with different professionals. These problems are then expressed in two case studies of dialogues as they
have been documented in the research project.
