Editors’s Foreword

Abstract

A chance to create a dialogue between young scholars and researchers. A space for exchange with peers from various fields. A pretext to reconnect, finally in person, and engage in reflections on our fragile selves. These were a few of the motivations that led us to organise the doctoral symposium that paved the way for the present special issue. As editors, we felt necessary to dwell on this experience and on the process behind the creation of this special issue. In doing so, with these closing remarks, we hope to provide a useful contextualisation to readers and extend our thanks to all the people who collaborated on its creation.
