Abstract
In this chapter, the editors discuss the process of editing a handbook, and the many decisions and proactive strategies involved, as a particular set of epistemic practices. Through an epistemic actor lens, they reflect on their own roles and positionalities in this project and explore the wider power structures and epistemic inequalities which shape these positionalities. They trace how they tried to proactively address epistemic inequalities, but also how the context of knowledge production in the neoliberal global academy undermined some of these efforts. Ending on a relational note, they invite the readers of this handbook to understand the plural archive created as a starting point and an invitation to embrace collaboration as a critical moment in knowing the world.
