Abstract

This proposed paper explores how crises and existential concerns produce limits and possibilities for radical transformation. The author’s recent unexpected experience with a chronic life-threatening illness is considered as a generative node for analysis of multiple intersecting existential crises frequently highlighted in critical educational research (e.g., [settler] coloniality, racism, climate degradation/destruction, health disparities, etc.).
