Progress whatever it is with all its value laden definitions means only one thing to me, movement forward, forward at an angle, in circle, slipping, skipping, running and sliding home. I've read our doubts, questions, and pleas for more and new discourses that will lead to a better day. But as I read our posts one resounding theme speaks to me... Janna's " I’ve been evolving as an instructor through trial and error and best practices shared via co-workers. This is an answer I need to keep working on! Brian's " That I could have that completely unoriginal moment all to myself, then turn it into something new – though not altogether new – to share with a few others who might do with it what they will." Aime's "It used to bug me that it seems we've been having the same conversation for 2500 years. Now, I think it's a good thing." Dr. Kells's "Hence my admonition to every graduate student who walks through my door, "Dont wait for a PhD to begin doing useful work. Don't wait for permission to change the world" Deb's However (to return to my student’s quote), maybe when interested individuals create a shared community of knowledge/episteme regarding the serious issues of the day, then the power structures that are in place may have to turn to the epistemic community as a repository of knowledge-driven ideas to actually enact or decide policy. and Gen's "Well I’m running my first full marathon in two weeks on Oct. 9th. Here’s hoping my feet take every kairotic moment and move me towards the finish line so I can get that free post-race beer"
AND THAT'S PROGRESS FOLKS!.
