The Disruptivity of the Others in Transformations (.DOT)
Disruptions are crucial for accelerating societal sustainability transformation. The emergence, characteristics and effects of disruptions are however significantly related to the role of outsiders i.e. individuals defending a position diverging from the majority Therefore this project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between outsiders and disruptions, as well as their impacts on transformations. With a view to societal development goals it develops new basic knowledge that enables using the transformative potential of outsiders while preventing their possible marginalization, radicalization or obstructive effects. The research design combines approaches from psychology, philosophy and transformation studies in an interdisciplinary multi-level analysis of cognitive, institutional and normative aspects - from the individual to societal level. Empirically a comparative study between four cities is being conducted in cooperation between TUD and IOER.
