Professor Sally Engle Merry’s thought-provoking scholarship has reached far beyond her disciplinary boundaries in anthropology and influenced our own work as human rights and peace and conflict studies scholars. On a daily basis, through our research with Everyday Peace Indicators, we engage and struggle with many of the questions Sally raised in her research and publications on the quest for commensuration through measurement in international organizations and aid. In particular, her book The Seductions of Quantification (2016) provided us with the inspiration to continue to engage more deeply with our goals to democratize indicator production. Dilemmas of positionality, perspective, and power in measurement are the reasons we have developed systems to include everyday people in the decision making necessary to develop indicators for public policy and research (Firchow and Mac Ginty 2020; Dixon and Firchow 2022).
