I want to showcase...
I mean, vulnerability for me seems obvious.
I am not a scientist.
I am not a farmer.
People know a lot more than I do about the, like, let's say, science of soil health or about why farming is difficult in Boulder County.
There would be no...
way that I can imagine writing a book without incredible value for the knowledge of other people that I don't have.
And so I think vulnerability is essential in scholarship, especially when you're working with communities.
There's no place for ego in it.
Ego can really harm communities.
And there are
a number of cases that have been written about where communities are really harmed by academics who go in and have a kind of like one and done mindset with projects or, you know, semester ends and you leave and the community hasn't gotten what they need, but our students got to do a little bit of charity work.
I mean, that's not a model that is thought of as best practices anymore, luckily.
And I think that
vulnerability means accountability.
We are accountable to the communities in which we work and their needs come before my need to publish.
And so you mentioned earlier that this is a really like their slow scholarship in this book, 10 years of work, seven years of writing and revising and revising and revising, um,
The hard thing about community-based work when you're writing a book is so much changes over the course of the writing.
I mean, laws were continually changing.
Policies were changing.
