摘要

Building on the analysisDisruptive Science of encroachment and the earlier articulation of Epistemic DharmaEpistemic Dharma, we advance the inquiry into how universities can regenerate their epistemic core by reimagining the spaces they occupy. We shift from reimagining the university’s role to confronting structural shifts that demand not mere adaptation to external pressures, but the cultivation of internal coherence grounded in care, complexity, and relational depth. We move beyond asking how the university evolves, toward a deeper inquiry: Can it protect the un-encroachable spaceUn-encroachable Space that sustains co-existence, and makes disruption possible within and beyond humans? We focus here on the notion of disrupting science, not as an attack on scientific inquiry, but as a necessary shift from stagnant orthodoxy to plural, dynamic, and ontologically inclusive knowledge systems. The chapter reframes disruption as a regenerative act, clearing institutional underbrush to let new forms of knowing, being, and relating emerge, while stressing that disruption must be rooted in care to become generative. Through the roles of the attackerAttacker (University Role), defender, healer, and farmerFarmer, the university can cultivate institutional behavior that is ethically grounded and contextually adaptive. In this light, the role of a harmonizer can be seen as an integrative stance, capable of embodying attacker, defender, healer, or farmer, depending on the context, whether by protecting truth, reconciling opposing views, or cultivating spaces where knowledge can take root and flourish. We explore how disruptive science requires cultivating spaces through epistemic courageEpistemic Courage, institutional humility, and designs that balance ambiguity with coherence. Drawing on integrative models we invite the university into a relational redesign toward institutional transformation, where clarity arises from connectedness and coherence, and disruption becomes an act of care, a form of epistemic stewardship over collapse.
