A Foundation to Rest Upon

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.
