It advocates for an “epistemology of connection” that prioritizes human relationships, diverse perspectives, and engagement with ambiguity in knowledge practices. It examines the concept of diversity as an example of interdisciplinarity grounded in a fully-fledged complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout, the book advocates for a shift from capture-and-control approaches to knowledge towards an understanding of knowing as a participatory, emergent process. It emphasizes the facilitation of new insights through deep engagement with the complexity of each other and the worlds we inhabit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSharon Woodill \u003c\/b\u003eis associate lecturer at University of Central Florida, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666944358\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e144\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52227989897356,"sku":"9781666944358","price":35.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_184f7d57-8030-42fa-9481-bd4f1bc6151d.jpg?v=1786502679","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781666944358","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
