Bammer, Gabriele, Disciplining Interdisciplinarity (2013) stresses that all research is imperfect; there are always unknowns, some of which we don’t even know we don’t know.
She diagrams various sorts of unknowns, and shows how their importance differs across disciplines.
In Ch. 13 Bammer outlines 6 strategies for coping with unknowns. These can be:
reduced
banished
accepted
surrendered to
exploited
denied.
She discusses the advantages of each.
