This is not so much an episode but 'going public' with this piece is a growing part of my documentation practice. This 'episode' is a spoken word poem that I wrote over a year ago that marks a particular place in a learning journey. I wrote this under the mentorship of Andrea Breen during my the first semester of my graduate studies at the University of Guelph, and it captures and explores how I felt about knowledge (as an academic, educator, and student) at that particular moment in time, particularly with regards to being invited into alternative ways of knowing, being, and doing. It's by far a perfect articulation of what needs to change, and it clearly still holds many biases, so I'm excited to see how a further poem about the same topic might turn out differently.... or not.
