Integrated service delivery in the early childhood education and care sector is burgeoning as a direct result of government agendas in Australia that privilege services for young children and families, especially those considered most vulnerable and at risk. In many cases this means reviewing and revising current practice to work more collaboratively with other professionals. This paper reports the findings of one aspect of a larger Australian study entitled: 'Developing and sustaining pedagogical leadership in early childhood education and care professionals'. The focus of this paper is the understandings and practices of professionals in both Queensland and Victoria working in integrated Children's Services across the education, care, community and health sectors. The notion of transdisciplinary practice is also explored as a way to sustain practice. Qualitative data collection methods, including the 'Circles of Change' process, the 'Significant Change' method and semi-structured interviews were used. The findings indicate concerns around professional identity, feeling valued, role confusion and the boundaries imposed by funding regulations. Working in a transdisciplinary way was generally considered a useful way to move practice forward in these settings, although the ramifications for leadership that this approach brings requires further consideration.

Since 2017, IAIN Manado has embraced multiculturalism as a core value for its vision to become an excellent Islamic higher education institution in Southeast Asia in 2035. This policy has however been taken without prior wide scholarly discussions. Consequently, the internalization and translation of this value into IAIN's processes of education are facing some difficulties. This paper proposes a conceptual framework around multiculturalism and transdisciplinarity for IAIN Manado in its attempt to develop competitiveness. It argues that the notion of multiculturalism is always political so that IAIN Manado may develop its own concepts and practices of multiculturalism. It also argues that in order for IAIN Manado to accomplish the implementation of its multiculturalism as a culturally epistemological vision, it should consider the espousal of transdisciplinarity as an academically epistemological vision. Keywords: Multiculturalism; Transdisciplinarity; Vision; IAIN Manado Sejak 2017, IAIN Manado telah memilih multikulturalisme sebagai nilai utama dari visinya untuk menjadi perguruan tinggi Islam unggul di Asia Tenggara pada tahun 2035. Namun demikian, kebijakan ini telah diambil tanpa didahului diskusi-diskusi luas yang melibatkan para ahli. Akibatnya, internalisasi dan realisasi nilai ini ke dalam proses pendidikan di IAIN Manado mengalami berbagai kesulitan. Artikel ini mengajajukan kerangka konseptual tentang multikulturalisme dan transdisiplinaritas untuk IAIN Manado dalam usahanya mengembangkan daya saing. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa konsep multikulturalisme selalu bersifat politis sehingga IAIN Manado dapat mengembangkan konsep dan praktik multikulturalnya sendiri. Selain itu, untuk menyempurnakan implementasi visi multikuluralnya sebagai sebuah visi epistemologis secara budaya, IAIN Manado sebaiknya mempertimbangkan untuk mengadopsi transdisiplinaritas sebagai sebuah visi epistemologis secara akademik. Kata Kunci: Multikulturalisme; Transdisiplinaritas; Visi; IAIN Manado

Transdisciplinary research and innovation (R&I) efforts have emerged as a means to address challenges to sustainable transformation. One of the main elements of transdisciplinary efforts is the 'inclusion' of different stakeholders, values and perspectives in participatory R&I processes. In practice, however, 'doing inclusion' raises a number of challenges. In this article, we aim to contribute to re-politicizing inclusion in transdisciplinarity for transformation, by (1) empirically unraveling four key challenges that emerge in the political practice of 'doing inclusion', (2) illustrating how facilitators of inclusion processes perform balancing acts when confronted with these challenges, and (3) reflecting on what the unfolding dynamics suggests about the politics of stakeholder inclusion for societal transformation. In doing so, we analyze the transdisciplinary FIT4FOOD2030 project (2017–2020)—an EU-funded project that aimed to contribute to fostering EU R&I systems' ability to catalyze food system transformation through stakeholder engagement in 25 Living Labs. Based on 3 years of action-research (including interviews, workshops and field observations), we identified four inherent political challenges to 'doing inclusion' in FIT4FOOD2030: (1) the challenge to meaningfully bring together powerful and marginalized stakeholders; (2) combining representation and deliberation of different stakeholder groups; (3) balancing diversities of inclusion with directionalities implied by transformative efforts; and (4) navigating the complexities of establishing boundaries of inclusion processes. We argue that by understanding 'doing inclusion' as a political practice, necessitating specificity about the (normative) ambitions in different inclusion settings, facilitators may better grasp and address challenges in transdisciplinarity for transformation.
