We should stop trying to get things right and start trying to make things better - Richard Rorty

Paint your personality a million different colours. Leave them scratching their heads, unsure of how to handle the magic that you are. - Nikita Gill, Colours

This world is not made of shades of grey. It is made of colours like azure and coral and emerald and marigold. But it insists on painting everything in black and white and fitting it into boxes that it understands. Do not do that to yourself.

‘The future is shaped by us, it’s not something handed to us’ (Paulo Freire, as he refused to accept that history could not be changed by human actions and insisted on the educational mission of denouncing the current oppressive state of societies, while announcing a better future)

Congrats! Definitely a learning curve! I've already submitted many papers, and I still get goosebumps when the reviews arrive... or when it takes months or even years to receive a response. Hope yours goes well—and doesn't take too long!

OPEN ACCESS!! In this paper we employed historical newspaper archivers through the virtual Hemeroteca of the National Library, to show the interconnection between football & eugenics & how these 2 forces intertwined to shape a new national identity in Brazil www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

‘No conclusion of scientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art’ (John Dewey)

The growth of knowledge depends entirely upon disagreement.

Karl Popper

“If all of your ideas are correct, will there be room to add new information? Can you pour any more liquid into a full cup?”
― Eric Overby

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.”
(Karl Popper)
