From reflection diaries to practical guidance for transdisciplinary research: learnings from a Kenyan air pollution project.

ABSTRACT: Transdisciplinary research (TDR) approaches have been cited as essential for overcoming the intractable sustainability challenges that the world is currently facing, including air pollution, water management and climate change. However, such approaches can be difficult to undertake in practice and can consequently fail to add value.
