We
are...
Sensitive to the everchanging social context that
we both inhabit and investigate
Modest when it comes to talking about our
successes (let them speak on our behalf!)
Avid fans of everything social, no matter how
banal, mundane or unpleasant this social would
be
Resourceful students, teachers and researchers
asking and finding answers to our questions
where there seems to be nothing left to find
Tolerant and open to our growing
interdisciplinarity, knowing that it can only mean
to learn more and to understand better
