This awareness informs to complex problems. Jake Chapman makes the challenge of imagining, organising and what we can call the spirit of ‘engaged a distinction between two types of problems: implementing responses that are suitable research’.

and below the level of the nation–state; they are also intimately interconnected across boundaries. Therefore, our research should go beyond the container theory of the nation– state, in which what is happening in Vietnam, for example, is assumed also to be of Vietnam.

Of course, the global challenges I have referred to here, such as climate change, make it amply clear that the national frame is an insufficient platform for understanding and action. In practical terms, we can overcome methodological nationalism by engaging in collaborative international research, where both local and global issues can be jointly examined in comparative perspective. A focus on cities is also beneficial because the interconnectedness of local and global processes is particularly tangible in cities.

Moreover, efforts to solve one problem may have unforeseen or unintended consequences and create new problems down the track, in turn needing concerted efforts to resolve them, and so on. This means that we need to adopt a more process–oriented approach to ‘problem–solving’, which is not based on pre–determined linear goals and formulas but on long–term engagement with evolving realities and an ongoing effort to generate contextual knowledge that can help us plot a course through the complex challenges we face. In this regard, engaged research is fundamentally future–oriented, even as it recognises the constitutive importance of the past. Precisely because the future is uncertain and fundamentally unpredictable, it is our responsibility to contribute what we can by proposing constructive paths towards it and practicable ways of navigating the complexities along the way.11

Teaching

In addition to supervising HDR students, ICS’s Institute–based members also engage in a number of teaching activities.

In 2015, ICS ran the compulsory Level 3 capstone unit entitled ‘Culture, Society and Globalisation’ (101980) in the Cultural and Social Analysis major for the School of Humanities and Communication Arts. Co-ordinated by Dr Louise Crabtree and Dr Stephen Healy, ICS members of the teaching team also included Professor David Rowe, Dr Denis Byrne, Dr Philippa Collin and HDR student Andrea Del Bono. Several other ICS staff were involved in providing video mini–lectures for the course content. ICS also developed its teaching components in the new Research Masters program, including the mentoring of students and the finalisation of the units to run in 2016.
