Abstract
This chapter takes the form of a roundtable conversation with different members of the editorial team and chapter authors. The discussion is framed around the following prompt questions (which are offered to readers in Chapter 1 in relation to this theme).
How can we plan for the unpredictable?
How can we make space for things we have not yet imagined?
How can we value opacity and resist demanding fixed meanings and clear logics?
Finally, we reflect on key messages and recommendations for action we hope readers might take away from this section of this book.
