Abstract

This Festschrift in honor of Beth Blue Swadener has been an opportunity to reflect on existential questions: What effects can one scholar’s work have? What are scholars’ responsibilities to do more than kibitz (comment from the sidelines) about the world’s problems? Can scholarships of generosity and belonging become organizing principles for justice-centered, engaged scholarship? The contributors’ answers to these questions are embedded in the plural richness and consistency of experience across their reflections, and how they are paying forward the generosity they experienced with Beth within nested, global scholarly communities of practice.
