What is it about?

Why is it important?

We need as researchers to engage in questions about what research and research data might be and become. We also need to connect with the importance of responding and dialogue.

Perspectives

Sarah and I have found our writing together to be transformative. From strangers hearing stories of experience, and daring to respond to the other, we became collaborators, writing and contemplating our own and educational worlds. We have discovered the importance of unveiling those aspects of our live we keep hidden, and the telling of life stories.
