2 Following the generous invitation of the previous year’s co-organizers, Betsy Super and Amy Cabrera Rasmussen, Natasha Behl and I co-organized the workshop, its theme, and its discussion with support from the Workshop’s founders, Dvora Yanow and Peregrine Schwartz-Shea. I would like to thank those attendees who sparked our initial conversation at the workshop in Las Vegas. As Guest Editor for this Special Issue, I would like to further acknowledge the energetic willingness of these seven authors in continuing the conversation through their papers. Collectively, we would like to express our appreciation to Ronan Paddison, Editor for Space and Polity, for his enthusiastic acceptance and continuing support of our collaborative project.
