"We never are what we are; something different is always possible" (John D. Caputo).
This idea helps me to face the truths of what we are, knowing that something different is still possible.

Finally, we learned that together we can break open into new ways of knowing& being in the world together. Shakespeare gives us characters who build or break worlds and then asks us which role do we want to play? Shakesperience is a world-building act that starts from love. 5/5 – at Stratford, Ontario

We also learned that re-imagining authority & expertise with renewed appreciation of diverse lived experiences makes us all better situated to build just& equitable worlds on a foundation of critical love. Shakesperience relies on 3 Wyrd sisters working on university margins 4/5 – at Stratford, Ontario

The amazing Shannon Murray, Lisa Dickson & @DrJRiddell presenting on “Shakespeare's Guide to Hope, Life, and Learning”, in which they promote the concepts of critical love, critical empathy, and critical hope. “Hope & empathy that is clear eyed & requires hard work”.
