Sustainability, Interdisciplinarity and Transformative Change: A Critical Realist Response to the Crisis System. This was the main theme addressed at the 21st Annual Conference for International Association for Critical Realism (IACR) in Lillehammer, Norway, the last week of August 2018. The conference attracted about 70 quality keynote speakers, paper presenters and panel participants. In addition, more than 40 participants attended the two-day pre-conference session, which was combined with a Ph.D. course. Almost half of the participants at the pre-conference were Ph.D. candidates from ten different countries, who presented their projects and papers and got their credits. As conference organizers, our impression is that all the participants, whether they attended the pre-conference and/or the conference itself, were interested in the main conference theme in one way or another. Admittedly, the conference’s theme was broad and its different components – sustainability, interdisciplinarity and transformative change – are interconnected. These components were chosen because they strongly reflect Bhaskar’s understanding of the crisis system as outlined in his posthumous book Enlightened Common Sense (2016). We also chose the theme to address the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – in large part thanks to Margaret Archer who suggested the idea in Torino at the IACR Annual General Meeting in 2017. The conference sessions considered not only how critical realism can contribute to the realization and implementation of the Agenda and its Sustainability Development Goals (SDG), but also how critical realism can offer tools in critical reflection upon, and examination of, the goals. We addressed the ‘Agenda’ specifically in two panel discussions at the conference, with contributors from within the critical realist network and from outside. In organizing the panels, we worked with our university colleagues Robert Didham and Victoria W. Thoresen, from the Centre for Collaborative Learning for Sustainable Development.

可持续性，跨学科性和变革性变革：对危机系统的批判现实主义回应

可持续性，跨学科性和变革性变革：对危机系统的批判现实主义者的反应。这是2018年8月最后一周在挪威利勒哈默尔举行的第21届国际批评现实主义国际协会（IACR）年会上的主题。该会议吸引了大约70位高质量的主旨演讲者，论文发表者和小组成员。此外，有40多位与会者参加了为期两天的会前会议，并与一名博士结合在一起。课程。会前几乎有一半的参与者是博士学位。来自十个不同国家的候选人介绍了他们的项目和论文并获得了荣誉。作为会议的组织者，我们的印象是所有参与者，无论他们参加了会前会议和/或会议本身，对会议的主要主题感兴趣。诚然，会议的主题是广泛的，其不同的组成部分-可持续性，跨学科性和变革性变革-是相互联系的。选择这些组件是因为它们强烈反映了Bhaskar在其死后的著作《开明常识》（2016）中概述的对危机系统的理解。我们还选择了解决2030年可持续发展议程的主题，这在很大程度上要归功于玛格丽特·阿彻（Margaret Archer）在2017年IACR年度大会上在都灵提出了这一想法。会议不仅考虑了批判现实主义如何为实现这一目标做出贡献。议程及其可持续发展目标（SDG）的实施，以及批判现实主义如何提供工具以批判性地反思，和检查目标。我们在会议的两个小组讨论中专门针对“议程”进行了演讲，来自重要现实主义者网络内部和外部的参与者都在其中。在组织小组讨论时，我们与来自可持续发展合作学习中心的大学同事Robert Didham和Victoria W. Thoresen合作。
