Teaching can change the fabric of the world. Never has the call to assume this agency been more immediate and crucial than now. We are standing on the hallowed ground of the academy at a privileged moment in time. We are called to assume this power and authority in the service of our students, one another, and the planet. Of course, we must summon a radical bravery, a willingness to step beyond the comfortable boundaries of traditions that no longer sustain us, and embrace the traditions of wisdom that have been so marginalized by an academy of the past. —Patricia Owen-Smith (2018, p. 121)

教学可以改变世界的结构。从未有过比现在更直接、更重要地假设该机构的呼吁。我们在一个特殊的时刻站在学院的神圣土地上。我们被要求承担这种权力和权威，为我们的学生、彼此和地球服务。当然，我们必须鼓起勇气，愿意超越不再支撑我们的传统的舒适界限，拥抱被过去的学院边缘化的智慧传统。——帕特里夏·欧文-史密斯（2018 年，第 121 页）
