In doing so, the contributions confront the potential pitfalls of this approach and grapple with the persistent epistemic, conceptual and normative frictions that inevitably shape such undertakings.Ultimately, the volume advances new conceptual and methodological pathways that offer practical visions for global knowledge production, attentive to the epistemic, moral and political issues at stake in contemporary debates.
