 Interactions between academic and non-academic stakeholders have become another growing concern that is reflected in frameworks of transdisciplinarity, citizen science, participatory research, public engagement, open science, and so on. The notion of transdisciplinary emerged in the 1970s (Jantsch 1972) and has been driven by policy demands of research at the interface of science and society. For example, a recent OECD report on 50 years of transdisciplinarity claims a “paradigm shift in research practice” (2020: 9) that orients research towards complex multi-stakeholder interactions in addressing equally complex challenges such as climate change, food security, global health, and sustainable energy production. Philosophers of science have more recently connected debates about scientific pluralism with transdisciplinary appeals to epistemic and social diversity (Koskinen &amp; Mäki 2016). Epistemologically, transdisciplinarity comes with opportunities of accessing novel sources of non-academic expertise but also raises complex questions about vastly different methods of knowledge production between academic and non-academic actors (Bedessem &amp; Ruphy 2020; Gibbs 2015). Politically, transdisciplinarity promises more inclusive research that reflects the concerns of heterogeneous stakeholders but also often reproduces existing hierarchies and colonial legacies in the relations between stakeholders and the organization collaborative processes (Healy 2019; Ludwig &amp; El-Hani 2020).
