We would like to give heartfelt thanks to our contributors for taking pleasure in performing the gestures that jam the system, dislocating and disrupting things and values. You were all part of the truly generative entanglement that shaped and progressed from the ‘Performing Research’ Seminar Series – during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020–21 – to this collection.
We are deeply grateful to Fiona Eldem, our book administrator, who patiently kept heavy lifting and moving us gently forward as a writing community.
Thanks also to Trisha McCrae (www.trishamccrae.net) whose cover illustration and artwork bring to life the rhythm and movement that frames a line of flight in its orientation to the book.
We would also like to thank our wonderful Series Editors Pam Denicolo, Britt-Marie Apelgren and Nese Cabaroglu for their support and gift of hope. A special thank you to Julia Flutter whose chapter reviews were full of grace and encouragement. We would also like to thank the ‘Brill’ editors and support team, Evelien van der Veer, Alessandra Giliberto and Jolanda Karada who were open and willing to move beyond their standard publishing format and template.
To future-making writers, researchers, artists educators and their students, thank you for joining us as we both celebrate and trouble how might rebellion become something in and beyond the academy?
