Abstract
Over the years of working on an urban Long-Term Ecological Research site; an Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship; and now a Sustainable Research Network project, Charles Redman has seen how the conceptual frameworks employed have evolved to reflect our views on how human-natural systems operate and our objectives in conducting research. In considering this, the priorities of research as well as research's epistemological basis are called into question. This past summer, the National Academies of Sciences issued a committee study on “The Value of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences to National Priorities." Although the report reaffirms the value of Social, Behavioral, and Economic (SBE) research, the fact that it was deemed necessary to create this report reflects a real questioning by influential people of the place of SBE research in future research agendas.
