Learning About Invitations: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:01, 18 March 2025

Invitations to trail-off may take different shapes and forms. They can look like giving someone a ride, playing bingo or staying around to drink a cup of coffee.

It is up to you to decide whether you want to accept these invitations or not.

If you accept, they allow you to divert from previous trajectories and extend towards a practice of wayfaring and dwelling. Being receptive and open to such invitations is also the most effective way in this Knowledge-Land-Scape to attune to their corresponding insights. When it comes to better understanding of how “ethical engagement” comes to matter in community-based polar bear research, I have found that the most insightful moments happen through unanticipated encounters, attuned curiosity and attentive openness.

Ignore the "Keep Going" button for now.

Being receptive and open to such invites is also the most effective way in this knowledge-land-scape to gain insights on the meaning of “ethical engagement” in the context of this research project. Like the author’s experiences in the field, the most insightful moments happen by encountering and responding to unanticipated phenomena.

-Sometimes invitations lead to their own trails, and consist of more than one event or encounter. In that case you will follow this side-trail until you can no longer “keep going”. When you reach the end of one of these side-trails, you are offered to return to the cut that you came from. In this case the “instructions” cut.
