“Education is a liminal space—one of becoming. . . . In school, we have carved out a specific time and a specific place for this emergence, one that is—ideally at least—a time and place to discover, to practice, to take risks even, to learn to love a world beyond one’s own. It is not merely a place for personal self-fulfillment, but one in which students engage (and yes, disengage) with others—ideas built and shared in community, not just as elements for individual refinement but, we always hope, for social progress, for all our benefit.”

—Audrey Watters
