Special Collection

Creating Knowledge in Common

Editors:
Shannon Criss, Kevin Hamilton, Mary Pat McGuire

Universities and communities are partnering together to more fully support needs across society. Art and design practices engaged within these partnerships substantively deepen the impact of this collective work through expression, visualization, representation, and exhibition, converging multiple viewpoints into broader re-imaginings and tangible new creations with both rational and emotional force. This special collection shares stories of such partnerships and their extraordinary outcomes in areas including community health, community arts, placekeeping, climate adaptation design, food production and distribution, abolition, student learning and engagement and more.

Acknowledgements

The editors wish to thank the many individuals who gave countless hours to the shaping of this special collection from its earliest conception through the submission and review process, editing and eventual publication. The collection itself, like the projects included within, reflects the tremendous amount of labor necessary to achieving projects justly and rightly for which little in the way of templates or precedents exist. As within arts-integrative research more broadly, efforts that chart new paths, when done rightly, often require additional work and care to ensure rigor, inclusion, and documentation of process. The Ground Works editorial process, up to and even including the new CRediT-FAIR system for recognizing contributors, has been an ideal framework for exercising such care. The editors are glad to offer their thanks to the following:

Veronica Stanich, Managing Editor of Ground Works, deserves first thanks and recognition for her tireless, patient, curious, and principled leadership of this collection’s realization across multiple roles, with project administration and supervision not least among them. She deserves all the credit for the very conceptualization of Ground Works as a best-in-class peer-reviewed platform that models right, humane, rigorous, and caring approaches to all contributors at every stage of involvement.

Daragh Byrne, Technical Director of Ground Works, drew from both his history with the conceptualization of this review platform and rigor as a scholar and designer to provide critical input to the process, and essential contributions to the production (technical) associated with the collection’s online manifestation as a beautifully-designed reader experience.

The authors and contributors for each of this collection’s ten entries deserve our great thanks not only for their writing across multiple drafts and edits, but for their tremendous patience with our sometimes multiple returns for further clarification (and over long periods while we sometimes ourselves struggled to return to the work among our many commitments).

The following were key to supporting the editors’ conceptualization of this issue at initial stages through review and critical input of the call for submissions:

  • Julienne Greer
  • Amy Hillis
  • Maija Mallula
  • Maria C. Olivares
  • Norma Saldivar
  • Garrett Schumann
  • Laura Shackelford
  • Veronica Stanich
  • Other members of the 2023 Ground Works Editorial Board (Byrne, Cass, Fraser, Kang, Knochel, Lorek, McNair, Mercer, Noble, Ordway, Sutters)
  • Members of the 2023 Ground Works Advisory Board (Ball, Beck, Chambliss, Malina)

Fulfilling Ground Works’ model for suitability review at Stage One, the following individuals reviewed preliminary submissions relative to the criteria for this special collection. As such their contributions deserve recognition for the writing they provided through forms of review and editing:

  • Audrey G. Bennet
  • Rodrigo Cadiz
  • J.R. Campbell
  • Robin Cass
  • Zachary Duer
  • Julienne Greer
  • Eric Handman
  • Alexandra Harbold
  • Luvada Harrison
  • Mihyun Kang
  • Julian Kilker
  • Jinku Kim
  • Lisa McNair
  • Lisa Mercer
  • Maria C. Olivares
  • Cristián Opazo
  • Kirsi Peltomaki
  • Nicole Hodges Persley
  • Norma Saldivar
  • Garrett Schumann
  • Laura Shackelford
  • Stephen Taylor
  • Jacqueline Wernimont

The editors are especially thankful for the yet deeper work and reflection provided by Stage Two reviews of submissions’ full narratives and media. In addition to providing critical writing (review and editing) contributions, they also lent essential reflective analysis to our review of submissions and subsequent revisions. These included: 

  • John Arroyo
  • Audrey G. Bennett
  • Ruth Nicole Brown
  • Juanli Carrion
  • José Cotto
  • Ronit Eisenbach
  • Shelly Goebl-Parker
  • Lissy Goralnik
  • Nils Gore
  • Seojoo Han
  • Maria Harrington
  • Erin James
  • Julian Kilker
  • Emily Kutil
  • Claire Latane
  • Kelley Lemon
  • Indrani Margolin
  • Morna McDermott McNulty
  • Lisa Mercer
  • Erkin Özay
  • Nalini Prakash
  • Michaele Pride
  • Maura Rockcastle
  • Garrett Schumann
  • Laura Shackelford
  • Joshua Stein
  • Tamara Underiner
  • Allison Upshaw
  • Frederick van Amstel
  • Marion Wilson
  • Daniel Winterbottom
  • Şevin Yildiz

And finally (within the evolution of this collection) the following returned to review the entire issue in draft form to provide essential reflective analysis and validation of the results of our work as editors:

  • John Arroyo
  • Ruth Nicole Brown
  • José Cotto

As powerful as the CRediT-Fair system is for recognizing the many ways in which others contributed to a work like this, it still does not adequately allow for the recognition of those who have been present throughout the formation of this collection, supporting it through encouragement, presence, curiosity, and hospitality, such as Nils Gore. And for love and ever present investigation, we thank the creatures Hank, Luna, Monte, Patsy, Remi, and Ruthie.
