Postlude: Resting, Reflecting, Preparing to Begin Anew

The short postlude is an invitation to appreciate all the work that has been accomplished: a crafted project framework, supportive colleagues throughout, and a plan for social life in the field. It is also an invitation to continue using the skills and tools used in the handbook throughout the research process. It encourages building project listening skills—knowing when to pause, rest, and work—in order to generate new forms of work and knowledge production. Together, these comprise a few possible creative openings for fostering careful and intentional community- and inquiry-building.
