Doing engaged scholarship is about constant juggling between engagement and detachment, the personal and the structural, the academic and the political, the center and the margin. It is about embracing the complexity of engaging with communities in a meaningful manner and yet having a precarious position within academic contexts. It is about choosing the insider-outsider position and venturing into social engagement to have an influence while preserving the marginality of a scholar to be able to reflect and theorize. This margin where the scholar dwells is not a state of isolation but a precondition for maintaining a relative distance from being overtaken by the power of the dominant discourse or the demands of the neoliberal university. To opt for the margin is to choose to slow down while everyone else around you is running around and to choose to raise questions while others are certain of their answers. In the reflections below, we, the editors of this volume, show the trajectory of our evolving engagement in our academic work. We share the precarities, the joy, the learning, and the dreams in doing the work we are doing.
