The present paper inquires whether a meticulous program designed to resolve Interdisciplinary Societal Dilemmas through dialogic argumentation advances epistemic practices. To delineate how practices are manifested in classroom discussions, we adopted the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which explores interactions and agencies of human non-human actors.
