In this final episode, we reflect on the lessons we have learned along the way. We discuss the role of the university, the relationship between our minds and our bodies in shaping how we move within academia, and how we gained criticism, confusion, and a sense of community throughout this process.

While we try to summarize the main conversations we had with all of our guests, and reflect on our learning, in particular for our university, please listen to the original episodes to make up your own mind. The words of Aminata Cairo, Joz Motmans, Katta Spiel, Paola Ricaurte Quijano, Maren Behrensen, and Rosalba Icaza Garza are powerful and not to be missed if working in academia!

You can find more information on our website about the Dialogical Spaces project and the previous episodes (and the related webinars).
