ABSTRACT
As we begin our journey into the world of research we often find, like Alice when she first went through the looking-glass, a world where our previously established mental constructs don’t work very well to account for the new ideas which new theoretical lenses are revealing to us.1 When Alice first meets the Red Queen, for example, she suddenly finds herself running as fast as she can, but ‘The most curious part of the thing is, that the trees and the other things around’ never changed places at all (Lewis Carroll, 1981, p. 126). However fast they went, they never seemed to pass anything. And when the Queen finally lets her rest, she observes
‘In our country . . . you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you ran very fast for a long time as we’ve been doing.’
