But their worst enemy, according to Turbulence, is fear of complexity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaul Carter argues that publicly-funded research cultures and their \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003esponsors\u003c\/span\u003e contribute to this problem when they treat complexity as a threat to communication. The result is often simplistic fictions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe phenomenon of turbulence, Carter argues, is common to natural and human systems: it defines a multi-actor decision making culture where feedback constantly modifies the research direction. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnly when climate change is culturally \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003einternalized\u003c\/span\u003e as an expression of human, as well as environmental, complexity can human and non-human interests elide.

It is also a challenge to our research cultures to understand the feedback at the heart of knowledge formation and to design their research programs differently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Carter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43643691761833,"sku":"9781922186799","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781922186799.jpg?v=1707791491","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/turbulence","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
