Wijermans, N., Schill, C., Lindahl, T., Schlüter, M. 2022. Combining approaches: Looking behind the scenes of integrating multiple types of evidence from controlled behavioural experiments through agent-based modelling. International Journal of Social Research Methodology. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13645579.2022.2050120
Understanding complex (social) phenomena benefits from combining different tools, perspectives, expertise, and experiences. Research designs that combine approaches are gaining in popularity. Carrying out research in interdisciplinary teams, however, is a challenging, high-investment activity. Unawareness of and reflecting on conflicting ways of seeing or studying the world may endanger project success. Agent-based modelling h...
Schlüter, M., Caniglia, G., Orach, K., Bodin, Ö., Magliocca, N., Meyfroidt, P., Reyers, B. 2022. Why care about theories? Innovative ways of theorizing in sustainability science. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cosust.2022.101154
The complex nature of sustainability problems and the aim of sustainability science to support emergent processes of transformation require rethinking how we build and make use of theories. We highlight the diversity of ways in which theories, as assemblages of different elements that can serve a variety of purposes, can emerge within inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary processes. Such emerging theories are (i) contextu...

We review the past decade’s widespread application of resilience science in sustainable development practice and examine whether and how resilience is reshaping this practice to better engage in complex contexts. We analyse six shifts in practice: from capitals to capacities, from objects to relations, from outcomes to processes, from closed to open systems, from generic interventions to context sensitivity, and from linear to...

Reinette Biggs, Hayley Clements, Alta de Vos, Kristine Maciejewski, Rika Preiser, Maja Schlüter. 2021. How to use this handbook. The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods for Social-Ecological Systems. Book Chapter.
Chapter 4 provides a guide to navigating the handbook, particularly the social-ecological systems (SES) methods discussed in chapters appearing in Part 2. The chapter briefly introduces the objectives and structure of the book and provides a summary of the process by which the methods included in the book (Chapters 5–32) were selected and grouped. It then gives an overview of the methods discussed in the book and presents a gu...
Maja Schluter, Reinette Biggs, Hayley Clements, Alta de Vos, Kristine Maciejewski, Rika Preiser. 2021. Synthesis and emerging frontiers in social-ecological systems research methods. Routledge International Handbooks. Book Chapter.
Social-ecological systems (SES) research is a rapidly emerging new research domain within the broader emerging area of sustainability science. It is largely a problem-driven and action-oriented field, motivated by the immense sustainability and equity-related challenges facing society (see Chapter 1). Social-ecological systems research is based on an understanding that SES are complex adaptive systems (CAS), where social and e...

This chapter is part of The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods for Social-Ecological Systems which provides a synthetic guide to the range of methods that can be employed in social-ecological systems (SES) research. The book is primarily targeted at graduate students, lecturers and researchers working on SES, and has been written in a style that is accessible to readers entering the field from a variety of different disci...
