Attending what might be passed as an ordinary if difficult exchange with a fellow graduate student when in doctoral studies, the storyteller weaves a particular happening into a much more telling account of power and agency. The teller permits time and place to shift, amplifying other encounters in relation to the initial student meeting. While not easy reading, especially for those who enjoy a telling as smooth and direct, if you can allow yourself to wend along the curves, something unfolds. You will find yourself at a place not anticipated. And if willing, tasked with navigating a rub worthy of reflection. Traversing a tale from Calgary to Cairo, Saskatchewan to Japan, and back again, these vignettes, woven as one, leave the reader pondering what it means to be empowered. Contact: fidyk@ualberta.ca
Abstract
Attending what might be passed as an ordinary if difficult exchange with a fellow graduate student when in doctoral studies, the storyteller weaves a particular happening into a much more telling account of power and agency. The teller permits time and place to shift, amplifying other encounters in relation to the initial student meeting. While not easy reading, especially for those who enjoy a telling as smooth and direct as an arrow flies, if you can allow yourself to wend along the curves that arc to and fro, something powerful will unfold. You will find yourself at a place not anticipated. And if willing, tasked with navigating a rub worthy of reflection. Traversing a tale from Calgary to Cairo, Saskatchewan to Japan, and back again, these vignettes, woven as one, leave the reader pondering what it means to be empowered.
