Researchers' roles in knowledge co-production: experience from sustainability research in Kenya, Switzerland, Bolivia and Nepal

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic comparison of four sustainability research projects in Kenya (vulnerability to drought), Switzerland (soil protection), Bolivia and Nepal (conservation vs. development) shows how researchers intuitively adopted three different roles to face these challenges: the roles of reflective scientist, intermediary, and facilitator of a joint learning process.

Science for the post-normal age
TL;DR: In this article, a new type of science called post-normal science is proposed to cope with many uncertainties in policy issues of risk and the environment, which can provide a path to the democratization of science, and also a response to the current tendencies to post-modernity.
