About the book

The Wadden Sea Region represents many of the tensions and contradictions of contemporary society, e.g. climate change, tourism, and sustainable development, placed in sharp relief by the presence of the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage. Crossing Borders, Blending Perspectives is the first edited work to explore transboundary landscapes through multi- and transdisciplinary perspectives by researchers and students jointly moving across national borders.

Listening to and engaging with diverse stakeholders, practitioners and decision-makers, 10 students and 10 researchers engaged in interactive learning whilst walking and biking a total of 600 km to explore and make sense of contradictions, interrelations and transformations in the past, present and future.

The book contains contributions from researchers, student experiences, and practitioners’ voices from the region that highlight contrasts, links, and interrelationships between society and ecology, cultural and natural heritage, teaching and learning. It charts a course for multiband transdisciplinary research and suggests advances in higher education.
