Weare...
Sensitive to the everchanging social context that we both inhabit and investigate
Modest when it comes to talking about our successes (let them speak on our behalf!)
Avid fans of everything social, no matter how banal, mundane or unpleasant this social would be
Resourceful students, teachers and researchers asking and finding answers to our questions where there seems to be nothing left to find
Tolerant and open to our growing interdisciplinarity, knowing that it can only mean to learn more and to understand better
Thank you
