CEE #48

Picture
As the end of the semester and the calendar year draws near in a time of continued global turbulence, violence, and uprooting, the words that we often associate with the break, such as home and family, as well as the material conditions to seek respite from our work routines, seem deeply privileged. Many of us are wishing for a new year with greater global distribution of justice, humanity in our conflicts with one another, and humility in our speech acts, political, and everyday practices. We hope for peace and seek to support each other in our sentipensar (feelthinking) and more coherent sentiactuar (feelingacting).
