Hi Sophie, and everyone.
This sounds like a great idea, and I'd be very interesting in writing something on my ongoing research in Ahmedabad, India, where I've been working
with two adivasi (indigenous) communities. A big part of this work has been exploring the possibilities and stresses of producing more equitable
forms of knowledge production in a post-colonial setting. Maybe there's a piece to be written on our use of photography and video in an effort
to develop the skills of community-based researchers.
Cheers, Caleb

Hi Sophie, Hi everyone on the list, Kia ora koutou katoa,
I'd be keen to write something from an Antipodean perspective drawing on
some exciting devleopments here in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia,
possibly even into the South Pacific. Would that be of interest?
Also happy to lend my editorial labour should that be strategically and
practically useful.
Hope the conference goes well for you all. I'm sorry not to be able to be
there.
Best wishes
Sara
