As we planned this special issue, the world was in the midst of a pandemic, one which brought into sharp focus many of the pre-existing economic, social, and climate crises, as well as, trends of widening economic and social inequalities. The pandemic also brought to the forefront an epistemic crisis that continues to decentre certain knowledges while maintaining the hegemony of Eurocentric ways of knowing and being. Thus, we set out to explore the possibilities that come with widening our ecology of knowledge and approaches to inquiry, including the power of critical reflective praxis and consciousness, and the important practices of repowering marginalised and oppressed groups. In this paper, we highlight scholarship that reflects a breadth of theories, methods, and practices that forge alliances, in and outside the academy, in different solidarity relationships toward liberation and wellbeing. Our desire as co-editors was not to endorse the plurality of solidarities expressed in the papers as an unyielding methodological or conceptual framework, but rather to hold them lightly within thematic spaces as invitations for readers to consider. Through editorial collaboration, we arrived at the following three thematic spaces: (1) ecologies of being and knowledge: Indigenous knowledge, networks, and plurilogues; (2) naming coloniality in context: Histories in the present and a wide lens; (3) relational knowledge practices: Creative joy of knowing beyond disciplines. From these thematic spaces we conclude that through repowering epistemic communities and narratives rooted in truth-telling, a plurality of solidarities are fostered and sustained locally and transnationally. Underpinned by an ethic of care, solidarity relationships are simultaneously unsettling dominant forms of knowledge and embrace ways of knowing and being that advances dignity, community, and nonviolence.

促进和维持变革性社会变革的跨国团结：推进社区心理学研究和行动

在我们策划本期特刊时，世界正处于一场大流行之中，这场大流行使许多预先存在的经济、社会和气候危机以及经济和社会不平等扩大的趋势成为焦点。这场流行病还把一场认知危机推到了最前沿，这种危机继续分散某些知识，同时保持以欧洲为中心的认知和存在方式的霸权。因此，我们着手探索扩大我们的知识生态和探究方法所带来的可能性，包括批判性反思实践和意识的力量，以及重振被边缘化和受压迫群体的重要实践。在本文中，我们重点介绍了反映广泛的理论、方法和实践的学术研究，这些理论、方法和实践在学院内外结成联盟，在不同的团结关系中走向解放和幸福。作为共同编辑，我们的愿望不是支持论文中表达的多元团结，将其作为一种不屈不挠的方法论或概念框架，而是将它们轻轻地放在主题空间内，作为邀请读者思考的邀请。通过编辑合作，我们得出了以下三个主题空间：（1）存在与知识的生态学：本土知识、网络和多语言；（2）在上下文中命名殖民性：当前的历史和广阔的视野；(3) 关系知识实践：超越学科知识的创造性快乐。从这些主题空间中，我们得出结论，通过重振植根于讲真话的认知社区和叙事，可以在当地和跨国范围内促进和维持多元化的团结。
