To think with others is to engage with diverse ways of knowing, but it is also to be exposed to the many consequential ways in which these ways of knowing shape worlds.  In the field, it is much more difficult to dismiss others’ understandings as ill informed or illogical.  Right or wrong, these are the understandings that structure modes of living…how do our particular histories, assumptions, and methods shape not only what we can see, but the worlds that we help to bring about?
