Abstract
ABSTRACT We often look to the past to think about how to navigate the future. The 2023 AANZCA conference theme drew on the Māori whakataukī or proverb, ‘Ka mua, ka muri’, which roughly translates to ‘walk backward into the future’. The theme provoked colleagues to reflect on the contextual forces of the recent past to make sense of our unknowable futures. In this editorial, we explain the local organising committee’s reasoning behind the theme, retell the story of the conference as it played out, and introduce the articles that make up this special issue. The articles span a range of topics from crisis communication, media identity, and the changing role of the internet in our social lives and research practices. Across their different contexts and methods, they illustrate the diversity of ways our community is looking to our past to feel our way towards a future.
