Nepantla, thresholds, and liminal space, were all concepts that reverberated in my researcher mind as I navigated my way through the fellowship. Something about these concepts felt intriguing, and deeply relevant. I came to the very insight that my research itself explores thresholds - the spaces of transition and transformation - that permit radical alternatives to emerge as counter-narratives to dominant ways of doing (in my case ‘water governance’). These often ‘anomalies’ point us to the cracks in the system from which not only change, but deeper and sustained transformation can manifest. They help us unravel how new institutions can be designed towards regenerating our commons.
