difficult to capture as much of the shared learning is through oral discourse. 3. Challenging existing perceptions“Authority of Experience” have already been determined by a politics of race, sex, and classdomination.” – bell hooksExistential reflection requires embracing personal narratives and becomes a radical act of self-discovery and collective healing. By acknowledging the intricate layers of individual experience,educators can create transformative spaces that transcend traditional epistemological boundaries,provided the student is willing to have an open mind.“Get rid of the personal part of this course. We just don't care about that stuff and people willmake stuff up for marks. Focus on the engineering aspects of sustainability
