解决棘手问题需要广泛科学领域的积极参与,这已成为当代科学政策口号的一部分。本文回顾了那些通过战略性地与自然科学家合作来争取更具影响力的社会科学的人所面临的一些关键挑战。它认为,有效的参与取决于克服构建过去互动的基本假设:特别是,将社会科学置于与科学和技术发展相关的末端角色。这些结构源于关于自然世界的潜在持久性以及科学在揭示其基本秩序和属性方面的作用的认识论假设。虽然社会世界的无常性总是使社会科学的基础更加不稳定,但二十一世纪对自然世界不稳定性的关注提出了不同的认识论假设,这些假设召唤以现场和干预为导向的社会科学家和自然科学家之间更加平等、直接和强烈的互动。本文研究了一个主要的研究项目,该项目举例说明了这些替代认识论假设。根据对研究人员和其他来源的调查,它试图总结社会/自然科学跨学科参与的经验教训。
It has become part of the mantra of contemporary science policy that the resolution of besetting problems calls for the active engagement of a wide range of sciences. The paper reviews some of the key challenges for those striving for a more impactful social science by engaging strategically with natural scientists. It argues that effective engagement depends upon overcoming basic assumptions that have structured past interactions: particularly, the casting of social science in an end-of-pipe role in relation to scientific and technological developments. These structurings arise from epistemological assumptions about the underlying permanence of the natural world and the role of science in uncovering its fundamental order and properties. While the impermanence of the social world has always put the social sciences on shakier foundations, twenty-first century concerns about the instability of the natural world pose different epistemological assumptions that summon a more equal, immediate and intense interaction between field and intervention oriented social and natural scientists. The paper examines a major research programme that has exemplified these alternative epistemological assumptions. Drawing on a survey of researchers and other sources it seeks to draw out the lessons for social/natural science cross-disciplinary engagement.
