Towards new modes of knowledge exchange for sustainability transformations: an exploration of multi-sited dialogue as conferencing practice by Blane Harvey, Ying-Syuan (Elaine) Huang, Bruce Goldstein, Nick Graham

“…Against this backdrop, we argue that knowledge exchange for societal transformations needs to consider three interrelated dimensions: (1) equity and inclusion – access to and representation in both process and content for all, (2) low carbon – limits the ecological burden produced by the exchange, and (3) impact – outcomes at individual and collective levels that enhance our ability to act. How we navigate the tensions that may emerge from these dimensions is a matter of pressing importance. …”
