Shaping Love as Experience: Travelling Within and Across (Academic) Worlds as Women of Colour

What is it about?

We narratively inquire into our autobiographical stories of attempting to traverse the academic worlds we inhabit alongside one another (Kubota, 2017; Menon, 2018; Saleh, 2019b). Building upon Lugones’ (1987) notion of love, we foreground educative (Dewey, 1938/1997) possibilities in crossing borders, and travelling across worlds, with loving rather than arrogant perception (Lugones, 1987). In doing so, we actively imagine (Sarbin, 2004) how borders can be experienced as shaping bridges and borderland spaces (Anzaldúa, 1987/1999) between and among (academic) worlds.
