Sustainability is a word that means different things depending on
who is using it, thus underlining the potential problems involved
in experts from different fields teaming up to tackle
sustainability problems. In this book, Janne Hukkinen argues for a
reflexive approach to sustainability as a means of coming to grips
with the threatening challenges arising out of human-environment
interaction. The author illustrates his argument with a case study
of natural resource management in Lapland, showing how
sustainability is understood holistically by academics and
professionals alike. This book reflects an emerging cognitive turn
in sustainability sciences, conceptualizing environmental
challenges during action on our social and material environments,
rather than in isolation. Hukkinen argues that this conceptual
blending enables sustainability experts to hybridize themselves: to
immerse themselves in the fields of other experts and imagine the
other's work - both prerequisites of trans-disciplinary knowledge
integration. This book shows how sustainability experts can reveal
their intellectual engagements when designing scenarios and
indicators and presents a rigorous framework for organizing expert
collaboration.
