On Kazys' site, a relevant guest post by Jarzombek:
To get past the inevitable disillusionment - that will be the challenge of the immediate future, academe needs to open up the repressed values of pedagogy.... When are we going to reclaim the unmarginal spaces? When are we going to reclaim the center that is also rightfully ours! Where is our search for the impossible, for the impossibly big? ... The process of thinking big has partially begun forced onto us by the possibilities in China and elsewhere. But we can think big EVERYWHERE. Thinking big does no mean that one has to make big things. It especially does not mean that one is a problem solver. One must avoid the Siren Calls of the professionals and the pragmatists. Utopia can still excite!
