Research in crises enables us to understand their antecedents and consequences in real-time so we are better prepared for future crises and thus more resilient in the face of them. In crises, researchers from all disciplines, of all theoretical traditions and from distinct methodological perspectives must come together to develop questions, answer them and implement their findings. We need to ask ourselves how our research will enable us to promote positive change in the wake of a crisis – the answer to this question determines the significance of the research we do.
