Your Turn: Valuing Commonalities and Differences

These reflections from our research team revealed shared values—like mentorship, curiosity, and collaboration—but they also highlighted tensions: the challenge of fitting into disciplinary spaces, the emotional labour of community-building, and the uneven paths toward belonging.

If you recognize some of your own story in these words, you’re not alone. And if your experience looks different, that’s important too. A strong community starts by making space for a range of perspectives—including yours.

With that in mind, we invite you to reflect with us. Below are some prompts to help you explore your own journey into SoTL and your sense of belonging within the ISSOTL community.
