In this article, we, a team of scholars from Project Unpack, detail our process of successful cross-disciplinary collaboration. We include a discussion of the aims of our collaborative project, our process of collaboration and the roles of each individual organizer, the resources we used to support the collaboration, data sharing practices, and how our research approaches and methodologies have been influenced by engaging in collaborative research. Our collaboration has led us to record and develop a series of nexus points that bring people together, which enabled us to create space for people to tell their stories and listen to others.
