“…Studies show that social media tools are effective to improve HSS academics' research productivity and research collaboration across countries. More recently, a study (Haak et al, 2022) found that graduate students who were involved in a problem-based learning project were more motivated to engage with diverse stakeholders to drive transformational learning. Even though students were challenged to refine the conceptual model, they were able to develop a revised module conceptual framework that more accurately reflected the transdisciplinary nature of these interactions.…”

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has brought interdisciplinary academics and research students many uncertainties and challenges in adapting to new communication styles. Compared with other academics in the same field, interdisciplinary academics might face more challenges in transitioning from traditional face-to-face communication to virtual communication.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the pain and joy of using Western and Chinese localized communication channels in experienced interdisciplinary academics (N = 10) and young research students (N = 14) during the pandemic. Among them, 14 are Europeans and 10 are Chinese.MethodMeeting records and participants' reflective writing were used as qualitative data.ResultsWe identified five key themes: two were tied to personal and behavioral issues, two were involved in management issues, and one dealt with topic choice issues.ConclusionConsidering that virtual interdisciplinary teamwork is likely to continue in the post-pandemic period, it is necessary to implement measures such as technical training and voluntary assistants to help alleviate some of the issues that make virtual meetings difficult for participants. Study limitations and future directions are also discussed.

The development of environmental education (EE) goals has rarely been problematised. To shed light on this process, we focused on EE in the Czech Republic. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a key role there, facilitating the process in coordination with government institutions, schools and for-profit companies. Drawing on three theoretical perspectives that explain the formation of organisational goals (consensus building, community of discourse and practice and governmentality), we examined how different stakeholders contribute to the definition of common goals for EE. Through ethnographic research in an NGO and at EE events, complemented by interviews with lecturers and leaders, our research revealed that despite the high diversity of stakeholder positions and interests, the organisational field of EE is highly inclusive and shows few internal conflicts. Using chosen theoretical perspectives, we explain how vaguely defined common goals and weak manifestations of conflict contribute to the sharing of knowledge, practices and ethical responsibilities in the EE field.
