Ground Up is a long-term initiative within the Northern Institute, Charles Darwin University Australia. Pursued in partnerships with Aboriginal authorities and their places, our inquiries address ‘problems of the moment’ and are committed to rendering multiple traditions of knowledge making and doing mutually visible. Most of the participants in Ground Up projects enact their making and doing according to very different epistemic and moral commitments than the modern university. In this presentation two spokespeople from a much broader group of collaborators draw on episodes from our 40-year history of Ground Up work maintaining epistemic accountabilities within Aboriginal people-places and the modern university. Presenting these at EASST/4S Amsterdam, we see these episodes as making and doing STS knowledge; seeking to effect, time and again, generative cross-institutional work in which the practices of disparate cosmologies and their institutions are kept separate, but also partially connected, in going on together.
