This essay centers on issues regarding epistemic labor. Drawing on recent thinking that pushes for decolonizing y/our minds, it invites consideration of what happens to y/our imaginaries when you/we allow y/ourselves the freedom to (re)imagine (an)other wor(l)d(s). Through reflections on the nature of human communication and terms related to diversity, empowerment, inclusion/integration, justice… within and outside academic labor, I push for a stance that centers the entangled primacy of epistemic, existential (E2) work in tandem with sustainable, solidarity-based (S2) work, i.e., an E2-S2 stance. Drawing on southern waves and ways of being within academia, this essay calls for transcending the implicit/explicit binary of the naturalized (mono/mainstream-)disciplinary versus prefixed (cross/inter/multi/trans-)disciplinary labels to embrace undisciplinary thinking for engaging with E2-S2-based work. One of many iterations of southern thinking, a Second Wave of Southern Perspectives (SWaSP) framework is explicated to enable (re)imagining issues in the educational and language sciences through E2-S2-based work. Here, a mobile gaze across scholarly domains and planetary spaces reinforces previous calls for sidestepping binaries, boundaries, and epistemic slippages, enabling alignments with analytical vocabularies that contribute to non-dichotomized Third Positions. It centers new ways to think about language and the human condition through a revitalized metalanguage that has relevance for equity.
