Socio-Cultural Factors in Transdisciplinary Research in Arabic Language and Literature

Issah Zubairu Achara, Abubakar Yusuf Abdullah

Abstract


The aim of this paper is to look into factors in transdisciplinary Research in Arabic Language and Literature. The scientific and technological knowledge needed for understanding of these transformations is distributed over a broad spectrum of disciplines and professions committed to incommensurable values, different theoretical concepts and conflicting methodological orientation. Therefore, a strong demand for integrated knowledge has arisen with the aim of improving both explanatory power and usefulness for problem solving. Employing a distinction between three structural levels of discourse a methodological framework for sustainability oriented research is sketched. This paper looks at how transdisciplinary research, which combines knowledge from different scientific disciplines with that of public and private sector stakeholders and citizens, can be used to address complex societal challenges. This includes developing effective response in acute crises, such as the covid-19 pandemic, as well as longer-term solutions for sustainability development. In a series of 28 caste studies, report, it identifies the key obstacles of effectively implementing transdisciplinary research many of these are embedded in the way that research systems are structured and managed and they are amenable to policy intervention. Examples of how various actors, including finding agencies and universalities are adapting to better accommodate the requirements of transdisciplinary research are included in the report and related policy actions are ascribed for these actor.
