Knowledge requires engagement, and to encounter someone or something risks change. Encounters initiate opportunities to meet, participate, and practise resilience or adaptation in the face of the unfamiliar or unknown. They may encourage a sense of belonging. Conversely, encounters may lead to rejection or silencing of new ideas, voices, objects, organisms, or experiences, to polarisation, to fear of the Other or to a desire to remain unaffected. They may be chance or intentional, confrontational or interactive, comfortable or unsettling. Encounters may span human and non-human terrains.
The goal of this issue is to present a collection of articles and other submissions that explore the theme of "Encounters" through a variety of thought-provoking and distinct perspectives.
