This book investigates communication and collaboration in an
interdisciplinary academic research team. The author uses grounded
practical theory and a systems perspective to identify structures,
processes and dilemmas influencing collective communication
competence and capacity for collaboration in a team. The
communication structures include: trust, presence, humor, encounter
talk, language, boredom, challenging statements and reflexive talk.
The structures influence four communication processes: debating
expertise, shared learning and language use, shared vision and
interdisciplinary products. The team also encountered four
communicative dilemmas or tensions: selecting measurement sites,
negotiating the tension between simplicity and complexity,
negotiating the tension between social and natural science
paradigms, and learning how to write collaboratively. The author
used participant observation and qualitative methodology to
identify the structures, processes and dilemmas. The ethnographic
analysis was the basis for a systems model of interdisciplinary
team dynamics. The systems model is a reflective communication tool
for interdisciplinary team members and facilitators and provides a
dynamic understanding of communication and collaboration behaviors
embedded in interdisciplinary research teams.
