the production of knowledge in ethnographic research, and how can they possibly guide or hinder such processes?In attempting to answer these questions, we address diverse beings, such as plants, animals, microbes, and varied materials, from relational more-than-human methodological perspectives.This special issue is based on the panel '(Un)relating and (Un)learning with More-Than-Humans during Ethnographic Practice', which was organised by the special issue editors at the 2022 Finnish Anthropological Society's conference in Rovaniemi.The contributions to this issue explore more-than-human engagements in ethnographic practice from various viewpoints beyond the human, or, rather, beyond the understanding of the human as unrelated to other beings.In particular, the pieces foreground the varied ways that encounters and communication with more-than-humans as relational embodied experiences affect the production of knowledge.In addition, the authors address the limitations of human bodies when interacting and communicating with these entities.Geographically, the contributions take us to South America, West Africa, Finland, and Tibet.The issue comprises six peer-reviewed articles and two essays.Tayna Tagliati's article, 'Co-responding with a Parrot in Amazonia:Cosmopolitical Engagements and Ethnography', discusses ethnographic research amongst the Kayap, and calls for a deeper understanding of more-than-human
