Travel, whether across town or the city to neighborhoods unlike one's own or overseas/traversing borders, has been the most helpful in shifting this reader's mindset re: the foundational drivers of health (like that term!) in other lived experiences and cultures
As a high school and later college teacher ( Wheelock, Northeastern) with colleagues we developed what we called teacher research—a form of participatory research I first read about at Cornell. We found that together we could devise simple research strategies that helped answer the real questions teachers had about our practice. You know, the questions that we think about, the why’s, on our way home after classes. ( think Donald Schon, the reflective practitioner).
I applaud this essay. It seems to takes my small practice to the global stage showing the need for respect, the generating of questions by those most affected, and the collaborative perspective need in local and global efforts. Thank you again for a thought provoking essay. Jkrasnow
