Abstract Twelve contributors, three dialogues, two days, one workshop.1 What strikes us editors, returning to the transcripts and preparing the special forum, is not how much ground was covered but how insistently the same ground kept returning—not as repetition, but as depth. The same tensions opened in each session, despite the different conversation questions, disciplinary angles, personal histories, and professional stakes. This afterword does not summarize what was said. It asks instead: what has become visible across the three dialogues that could not have been seen from within any one of them?
