<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">‘Listening to the world is not an automatic faculty, but a skill that needs to be learned’
</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">(Back, 2007:7). To listen is to respond and be affected. It is to develop an attentiveness to both the insight and blindness in our accounts,
and thus a bodily attunement to that which exists at the edges of comprehension – to that which exists at the margins (hooks, 1989). In this session we ask; how do we situate ourselves so as to be available to the call of others? If world-making depends on
uncertainty, how do we learn to be open to uncertainty and how do we engage in world-making
<i>across</i> difference (Rose, 2015).<i> </i>Thinking, feeling and doing difference in different institutions, spaces and forms of research creates anxiety, fear, hurt, fatigue, frustration, and misunderstanding (Ahmed, 2012; Lobo, 2014; Nayak, 2017). Such
affects and miscommunication can pose a significant challenge to the development of an affirmative politics of belonging and coexistence, at a time when such a politics is already under threat. In grappling with the challenges of listening at the margins,
we join scholars that have developed expanded accounts of listening as a means to resist marginalization, decentre the foundations of epistemological approaches, and recentre the unpredictable (Duffy 2009; Plumwood, 2009; Macpherson et al. 2016). In this spirit,
we invite submissions that reflect on, or engage, the risky, experimental and creative acts that make forms of listening at the margins possible. This might include contributions from those working in cross-cultural settings or with the diversity of human
and more-than-human encounters (Haraway, 2016; Wilson, 2016). It might involve the weaving together of stories and multi-sensory narratives of belonging and coexistence, or the entanglement of diverse knowledge systems. Finally, it might include reflections
on different traditions of listening, such as those central to Indigenous and non-western philosophies of difference (Wang Jing, 2012; Lobo, 2017; Kato, 2015; Rose, 2015).</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
