Some of what you both write resonates with my experience, particularly of academia, where I've spent most of my adult life, though always as an outsider--grad student, adjunct instructor, assistant editor, never in one of the "power" positions among academics. Graduate education itself so often serves to fragment; that very notion of "specialization" narrows the focus (to whatever extent it increases the depth of view) and often divides the self, and closes us to the opportunities within ourselves and others. Cheers to both of you for your willingness to fight this fragmentation in an open forum, where those of us with less courage can witness and find inspiration in your efforts.
