Boy, I’m a bad member of an Editorial Committee. The CFP for the inaugural edition of new open-access peer-reviewed journal is out and I neglected to post about it. (I micro-blogged it to Twitter, but the small percentage of academics in Twitter makes the attempt almost worthless). The journal is Second Nature: The International Journal

Dr. Sue McGregor explains ‘The Nature of Transdisciplinary Research and Practice’ in this 30 minute interview that is available for online streaming. I don’t identify with all of Sue’s statements about transdisciplinarity (which is the point, some may say, of transdisciplinarity), but it is great to see more info getting out there.

Yes, hello! You probably don’t like being called something you have no idea what it means, but I assure you I consider it a compliment. I came up with the term ‘transmodiologist’ (with the help of my half-brother who is a  whiz at Latin) to differentiate myself and my research method from ‘narratologists’ and ‘ludologists’.
