ABSTRACT
The combination of engagement and imagination results in a reflective practice. Such a practice combines the ability both to engage and to distance … Imagination enables us to adopt other perspectives … In turn, engagement provides a place for imagination to land, to be negotiated in practice and realized into identities of participation…. For instance, there is no point going on a retreat, a visit, or a sabbatical unless the new perspectives we gain in the process can find a realization in a new form of engagement upon our return.
