Welcome to Reconcile Digest #15. I’m so glad you’re here.
Back in February, I was thinking about love as a concept for a research digest, to coincide with Valentine's Day. Inspired by all about love, a book I was introduced to on my own teaching journey during my PG Cert years ago, it is important because bell hooks has been advocating for love in the classroom since the early 90’s. We didn’t publish a love-themed digest in the end, because I couldn’t find the right paper to do the topic justice.
Enter this week’s paper, published just a few months ago. The perfect compilation of challenging the institution, questioning the origins of knowledge and reflecting on how love could make the academic process better. It considers the duality of being both on the outside and the inside, which I know resonates across various professional spaces.
Let’s talk all about love. Enjoy.
