Fostering agility to diversify science, music, and society

Tensions often emerge when research and practice come together. These tensions can either hinder progress or be constructively engaged to enable transformation of thought and action. Drawing on the experiences of 32 co-production initiatives from around the world that aimed to transform social-environmental issues, Josephine Chambers, Carina Wyborn, Nicole Klenk, Chris Cvitanovic, and their many co-authors, outline critical processes for turning tensions into new relations that foster sustainability transformations. They reflect on what it means to navigate differences in agile ways at the intersection of science, music and society. This includes a musical abstract co-created with musician Noor Noor that features the lead author’s voice.
