Little We Know of Each Other

This performative text is rooted in arts-based inquiry and expressed as the textual portraits of five educators working at the University of the Free State (UFS), South Africa. These portraits were created as part of a collaborative research project in which participants shared their experiential knowledge of working toward antioppressive practice in higher education at the UFS between 2014 and 2016. The textual portraits highlight the contradictions, uncertainty, and messiness of educator identity in this complex and volatile space. Furthermore, the performative text serves as a creative expression of different ways of knowing and different ways of becoming.
