Hilary Brown is Associate Professor in the Department of Teacher Education at Brock University, Canada. She is the recipient of the 2012 Brock University Award for Excellence in Teaching for Early Career Faculty. As a qualitative researcher, Brown encourages her students to delve deeply into the self in order to expose and reconcile their vulnerabilities while simultaneously attempting to do the same. The reciprocal nature of this deeply reflective process has the potential to result in the improvement of one’s professional practice. Brown’s research focuses on the practical application of holistic and invitational theory.   Richard D. Sawyer is Professor of Education at Washington State University Vancouver, USA.
