This year, attendees explored the possibilities and challenges that come with giving voice to experience. From the humanities to the human sciences, scholars face the dilemma of how to do justice to experiences that can become known through language, but are so much more than language itself. When we succeed, the experiences we apprehend and convey bring forth opportunities for red iscovery and renewal. When we fail, these same experiences can become sources of frustration, misrepresentation, or silence. As scholars and practitioners, many of us find ourselves at both ends of this continuum, and learn much from these experiences.
