Dedication

Dedicated to my students, for whom I have great love.

And to all the idealists, utopians, and dreamers of our time.

This work is meant to bring us together and to create the conditions in which we can empower the youth to reimagine the world they deserve to inherit.

And in memory of Professor Jeffrey G. Reitz-mentor, friend, and quiet visionary, who showed me that humanizing pedagogy is not just an idea but a lived commitment to helping others become more fully themselves. His belief in me helped me believe in myself, and that changed everything. We are not alone in this. People’s great love and ideas never die: they live through us.
