Scholarship flourishes in inclusive environments where open deliberations and generative feedback expand both individual and collective thinking. Many researchers, however, have limited access to such settings, and most conventional academic conferences fall short of promises to provide them. We have written this Field Report to share our methods for cultivating a vibrant intellectual community within the Science and Technology Studies Food and Agriculture Network (STSFAN). This is paired with insights from 21 network members on aspects that have allowed STSFAN to thrive, even amid a global pandemic. Our hope is that these insights will encourage others to cultivate their own intellectual communities, where they too can receive the support they need to deepen their scholarship and strengthen their intellectual relationships.
学术成就在包容的环境中蓬勃发展，在这样的环境里，开放的讨论和富有建设性的反馈能够拓展个人和集体的思维。然而，许多研究人员很少有机会置身于这样的环境中，而且大多数传统学术会议也未能兑现为他们提供此类环境的承诺。我们撰写这份实地报告，旨在分享我们在科学技术研究食品与农业网络（STSFAN）中培育一个充满活力的知识社群的方法。同时，我们还分享了21位网络成员对于使STSFAN得以蓬勃发展的各个方面的见解，即便这一切是在全球大流行的背景下实现的。我们希望这些见解能鼓励其他人培育自己的知识社群，在那里他们也能获得深化其学术研究和加强其知识联系所需的支持。
