A Foundation to Rest Upon

This issue celebrates the work being done to lay foundations while offering a resting place to sit and contemplate the horizons we can imagine next. As one paper in this issue argues, these two practices of foundation-laying and imagining are inseparable. At the end of our two-year tenure as co-editors, we are encouraged to see work that captures the nuanced and collective spaces for Sikh healing, community-building, and knowledge-production that are rapidly organizing and building upon foundations laid by generations prior. Through this intergenerational knowledge-building, scholars reflect on old foundations as partial explanations for productive growth and challenge these partialities to imagine otherwise.

Abstract

This issue celebrates the work being done to lay foundations while offering a resting place to sit and contemplate the horizons we can imagine next. As one paper in this issue argues, these two practices of foundation-laying and imagining are inseparable. At the end of our two-year tenure as co-editors, we are encouraged to see work that captures the nuanced and collective spaces for Sikh healing, community-building, and knowledge-production that are rapidly organizing and building upon foundations laid by generations prior. Through this intergenerational knowledge-building, scholars reflect on old foundations as partial explanations for productive growth and challenge these partialities to imagine otherwise.
