You Are Here
You are here, wherever that “here” may be. “Here” simultaneously refers to a place in time and to a place in space. Perhaps the here where you find yourself is not what you imagined in “the before world” when we tricked ourselves into believing we could “plan”. The place where we now find ourselves just “is”. It is where we are, the point from which we take our next steps.
Consider this an invitation to reflect upon where you are in time and space and what is meaningful to you in your work. The making of meaning is highly personal even when it takes its form in professional work, academic or otherwise. This season, IDEC offers a safe space and open arms to authentic sharing of scholarship, creative activity, teaching, and discussions. Whatever it is that you bring to this table, we look forward to hearing about it. We will meet you wherever you are.
