Metho­do­lo­gi­cal, epis­te­mic, and onto­lo­gi­cal bor­ders have long pre­ven­ted land­scape and urban stu­dies from enga­ging in trans­di­sci­pli­na­ry dia­lo­gue, sen­suous­ness, and affect. Rese­ar­ching Other­wi­se unco­vers pos­si­bi­li­ties for deploy­ing sen­so­ry, col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve, and resti­tu­ti­ve metho­do­lo­gi­cal tools to craft spaces for pro­du­cing know­ledge from plu­ri­ver­sal worlds. The­se methods con­nect rese­ar­chers and their objects of inves­ti­ga­ti­on in new ways to empower resti­tu­ti­ve and rege­ne­ra­ti­ve futures “other­wi­se.”

Ori­gi­nal con­tri­bu­ti­ons stem from rese­arch methods based on dra­wing, pho­to­gra­phy, sound­ing and lis­tening, film­ma­king, wal­king, and car­to­gra­phy. They reve­al jour­neys of spe­cia­lists and their com­pa­n­ions while navi­ga­ting through mul­ti-spe­ci­es walks, enga­ging in cine­ma­tic and per­for­ma­ti­ve ways of kno­wing, sub­mer­ging in oce­an worlds, unsi­len­cing bank vaults and trou­bled archi­tec­tu­ral his­to­ries, and explo­ring col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve eth­no­gra­phic inves­ti­ga­ti­ons with refugees.
