Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Expertise in research integration and implementation is an essential but often overlooked component of tackling complex societal and environmental problems. We focus on expertise relevant to any complex problem, especially contributory expertise, divided into 'knowing-that' and 'knowing-how.' We also deal with interactional expertise and the fact that much expertise is tacit. We explore three questions. First, in examining 'when is expertise in research integration and implementation required?,' we review tasks essential (a) to developing more comprehensive understandings of complex problems, plus possible ways to address them, and (b) for supporting implementation of those understandings into government policy, community practice, business and social innovation, or other initiatives. Second, in considering 'where can expertise in research integration and implementation currently be found?,' we describe three realms: (a) specific approaches, including interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, systems thinking and sustainability science; (b) case-based experience that is independent of these specific approaches; and (c) research examining elements of integration and implementation, specifically considering unknowns and fostering innovation. We highlight examples of expertise in each realm and demonstrate how fragmentation currently precludes clear identification of research integration and implementation expertise. Third, in exploring 'what is required to strengthen expertise in research integration and implementation?,' we propose building a knowledge bank. We delve into three key challenges: compiling existing expertise, indexing and organising the expertise to make it widely accessible, and understanding and overcoming the core reasons for the existing fragmentation. A growing knowledge bank of expertise in research integration and implementation on the one hand, and accumulating success in addressing complex societal and environmental problems on the other, will form a virtuous cycle so that each strengthens the other. Building a coalition of researchers and institutions will ensure this expertise and its application are valued and sustained.

Gender equality and sustainable development: The need for debate in transportation policy in Sweden :
- 2001
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The practical attainment of equality (be it based on gender,disability or age) within the transportation sector supports increased access to mobility. At the same time,goals of sustainable development call into question the environmental and social impacts of travel, thereby implying reductions in mobility,especially with regard to car use. Given such different political goals, gender equality and sustainable development are clearly at odds with each other within the context of current transportation systems based on automobility. How then can these two separate,yet clearly interrelated goals,complement each other so that Sweden moves towards both a sustainable and an equitable transportation system? How can gender equality most effectually be applied as an analytical tool to the discourse surrounding sustainability and transportation policy in Sweden?

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- [Book:] Being socially and geographically mobile is generally seen as one of the central aspects of women's wellbeing. Alongside health, education and political participation, mobility is indispensable in order for women to reach goals such as agency and freedom. Building on new philosophical underpinnings of 'mobility', whereby society is seen to be framed by the convergence of various mobilities, this volume focuses on the intersection of mobility, social justice and gender. The authors reflect on five highly interdependent mobilities that form and reform social life: * The origin, divisions and implication of physical travel for work, leisure, family life, migration and escape. * Physical movement of goods and their gendered impacts. * The gendered content of imagined travel through televisual images. * Virtual travel via the Internet. * Communicative travel through person-to-person messages via letters, telephone, fax and mobile phone.
