Some challenges of interdisciplinarity

Working with different experts in adaptation to climate change stakeholders’ teams

| Université de Sherbrooke , Canada

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.

Keywords: dialogue, adaptation to climate change, (inter/multi/trans)disciplinarity, interprofessionality
