  1. Dr. Carvalhaes,
    Your words are rich and inspiring. I especially like the understated and profound statement about formation and the question – why do we teach? We teach, in part, to introduce students to life/worlds that they do not know exists. Worlds which are life-giving and which counter the death-dealing normativity we have learned to call home.

    There is, my friend, a magic in your words.

    peace, Lynne
