đź“ŤÂ Teams Link:Â Challenges in Researching Blue Economy
Researching the blue economy presents various challenges due to its complex and multidisciplinary nature. It involves integrating insights from diverse fields, from humanities and social sciences to STEM, for example, social and cultural anthropology, geography, political ecology, economics, management, technology, and marine science, to name a few. While this approach offers a holistic understanding, it also comes with several challenges. These challenges start from the conceptual and methodological to ethical, social justice, and moral considerations, as well as policy and governance. Addressing these requires research efforts that need a collaborative and transdisciplinary research approach bridging science and society. To face these challenges effectively we also need a self-reflective gaze within the disciplines, within ourselves as researchers, and to reflect on how we self-position ourselves within the research context.
