| Convergence Ecotones: A New Framework for Understanding Adaptive Learning and Community Resilience
In a world confronting “wicked problems” (from climate change to structural racism), the role of a single expertise has come into question (“getting the engineering right is not enough”) in providing solutions to these intractable problems. The concept of convergence (NSF’s one of the 21Century 10 Great Ideas) has been suggested as crucial to the development of co-production of knowledge and more just sustainable transitions. However, despite high hopes on its effectiveness, little is still known as to how convergence works. To better understand the process of convergence, we apply landscape ecology’s concept of ecotones to suggest a new framework for community resilience and adaptation analysis. Utilizing Convergence Ecotones allow for a more granular visualization of human-technology-ecology relations, its tensions, vulnerabilities and capacities as well as resources surpluses and gaps many times generated by scientific manufactured ignorance. A better understanding of convergence ecotones can help open the black box of multi-sectoral engagement for knowledge co-production and infrastructural innovation codesign for community resilience. |
