Interdisciplinariedad en la innovación social frente a la despoblación rural

Abstract

<div data-canvas-width="537.7519333333333">This article explores interdisciplinarity in social innovation facing rural depopulation. For this purpose, we analyse the diversity of disciplines involved in the social innovation initiatives registered in the database of the SIMRA research project that are addressing demographic challenges. The results of this analysis show a significant level of integration of scientific knowledge in the social innovation facing depopulation, which evidences the need for interdisciplinarity in fighting depopulation and also its analysis, as well as the existing margin for more scientific fields to participate in this type of social innovation.</div>

Good practices and educational innovation for improving well-being of migrant and refugee children. Insights from the IMMERSE H2020 research project

“…Social problems are complex; in fact, factors related to multiple dimensions of life are interrelated and, therefore, in order to propose effective solutions, these problems must be faced by different disciplines to understand them in all their complexity, integrating multiple research areas and knowledge fields to achieve the integration knowledge in order to advance in the understanding of complex issues (Valero & López Marco, 2019). This need to analyze problems from an interdisciplinary perspective is integrated into the general context of increased demands for interdisciplinarity and the continuously transforming relationship between scientific knowledge and general society, which is becoming more open and explicit.…”

“…Therefore, from this perspective, knowledge must be understood as knowledge in practice and not only coming from the logic of academic research but also through formal institutions (i.e., universities and public organizations) and informal networks comprised of communities and NGOs. All these actors are required in order to bring their expertise and knowledge about social problems to be able to understand them deeply and provide effective solutions (Valero & López Marco, 2019;Van Rensburg et al, 2016). Furthermore, social changes require not only the knowledge of different actors but also the actions of individuals, collectives, communities and organizations, socio-political movements, public policies, etc., and they also require philosophical and ethical debates in order to understand the impact of each proposal to address efficiently all social problems identified (Moulaert, 2010).…”

El imaginario colectivo sobre el valor del entorno rural que construye la escuela

“…Es más, siguen implantándose propuestas extractivas centradas en la explotación de biomasa a gran escala, las macrogranjas, los macroparques fotovoltaicos y eólicos, etc. devastando aún más la zona en función de una visión cortoplacista (Valero y López, 2019).…”

Depopulation in Spain and violation of occupational rights

“…Addressing these issues requires engagement and dialogue among different disciplines to develop new frameworks (Bruckmeimer & Tovey, 2008;Lowe & Phillipson, 2006;Valero & López, 2019) that can incorporate diverse research and knowledge areas (Palonen et al, 2014;Valero & López, 2019). Among the many health-related disciplines, occupational therapy can take a leading role in helping prevent the consequences of social isolation among individuals and communities and promoting occupational engagement and social participation (Boldy & Grenade, 2011;Clemson & Laver 2014;Papageorgiou et al, 2016).…”
