ABSTRACT
In Dislocated Complexity with the chronic crises and perturbations that this entails, there is an urgent need for new knowledge to be generated. In Dislocated Complexity researchers are challenged to think anew about their research paradigms, methodologies, epistemologies, axiologies and motivations. This can be seen as a period of ‘Clashing -ologies’ where research that generates new knowledge is crucial to society as it faces unknowable unknowns and impenetrable problems. We examine the ways universities respond to this situation in their core activity of research and how researchers have grasped this tipping point as an opportunity rather than a risk.
