This book presents thinking about and through transdisciplinary and
professional development as an educative process. Rather than
focusing on the delineation of the approaches offered, an analysis
of these contributions points to commonality in those problems that
benefit from a transdisciplinary perspective.  Â
The core elements of transdisciplinarity can lead to what might be
called metanoia - another way of knowing; a knowing which is
‘beyond that which is creative and transformative. This
poses challenges for the practice of all professionals and is the
core issue that this book addresses. The book brings
together the constituting views of transdisciplinarity, or
metanoia, and focus them on current professional practice.​ The
book is structured in two parts and five sections. The first
part deals with key issues in Transdisciplinarity; its actuality
and how it creates knowledge. Section 1 has three original papers
which look at Transdisciplinarity from a different
lens. Especially, the Islamic voice has not been heard in
this context before. Section 2 considers the knowledge aspect of
Transdisciplinarity and how this might be confronted with existing
disciplinary
knowledge.          Â
Part 2 of the book is directly focused on professionals and their
education. The third section considers research pedagogy and
graduate education for the professional. This is followed in
section 4 which offers a discussion on team work. In the final
section six chapters present the transdisciplinary practitioner in
different contexts.Â
