Collaboration (perhaps we could even go so broad as saying discussing/writing about our work with others) necessitates making explicit what usually "goes without saying."

The passage below is one of many moments in the fieldwork correspondence where what often “goes without saying” is made explicit through our exchange.(page 3).
