It was in Paris, in the fall of 2013, that Tommaso first suggested the idea for this book. Anders had begun a two-year stint as a visiting researcher at the Sciences Po médialab, where Tommaso was the research coordinator, and we had both been teaching controversy mapping for some years. At the time, no explicit guidance was available and the pedagogy of controversy mapping was learned by trying, possibly through apprenticeship with colleagues ahead of the curve. The atmosphere was playful and experimental with a high level of engagement and substantial contributions from the students, yet the need was felt to compile the teaching resources that we were all working on into more structured formats.

Several initiatives were taken in those years to consolidate the ongoing experiments with controversy mapping. One was the curation of a collection of websites that students around the world were producing as part of their coursework, another was the FORCCAST project (FORmation par la Cartographie des Controverses à l’Analyse des Sciences et des Techniques) which had been launched in France to establish a research-based understanding of the pedagogy of controversy mapping. What was missing, we thought, was a book. Tommaso had compiled his teaching materials into a portfolio which became the first draft for a manuscript that has since developed and transformed through more iterations than we would care to think of. We are proud to see it emerge now as a fully-fledged field guide to controversy mapping, not just for teaching, but also for research and democratic inquiry. This would not have been possible without the help and support of an ever-expanding and highly committed network of fellow controversy mappers that we want to credit and thank.
