In English

Our lives as scholars can feel weighed down by bureaucratic responsibilities and competitions for resources and status. Yet here and there, we may be astonished by a student's expression of humanism, an act of solicitude, or after-hours camaraderie with intimations of utopia. We go in search of such moments.
