"Let's Imagine an education journal where poetry and art are as much a part of scholarly activities, and where academic arguments and research once again re-inspire the Sacred and the Elemental into the word 'education' itself."

In this spirit, I involve my professional teaching work on Hermeneutics and Pedagogy here at UBC's Centre for the Study of Curriculum and Instruction. Here too, my academic spirit summons coursework where graduate students can seek further understanding of the fourfold gaze of the Poetical, Historical, Philosophical, and Spiritual Imagination as we–educators–invoke our practice and Pedagogy in the presence of children, and they in turn invoke a plea of virtuous Care!
