Abstract:
In a series of interviews with some of the world's leading intellectuals, the authors explore what it might mean to globalise the research imagination. They interview Arjun Appadurai, Raewyn Connell, Doreen Massey, Aihwa Ong, Fazal Rizvi and Saskia Sassen. All are foremost in their research fields and their thinking on globalisation is influential and inspirational, particularly for those who could challenge ideas of globalisation from 'on high' and 'afar'. Also, in the substantial and provocative opening essay Kenway and Fahey explore ways in which the notion of the imagination itself might be mobilised to support researchers to develop 'defiant' global imaginations and communities with the capacities to think, 'be' and 'become' differently in a world of research increasingly governed by rampant reductionist rationality. In these circumstances, progressive researchers in the social sciences and humanities urgently need to decide for themselves how best to globalise research methodologies and communities.
