Literature gives young people a way to find meaning, process emotion, soothe themselves, and rally in their own space, pace, and time; to broaden their horizons even as physical boundaries contract.  The need for that remains paramount.

Our field of study came to be as a result of a struggle against injustice and inequality.  But we are not its finished product.  We are, instead, part of a continuing process of advocacy, meaningful service, and social transformation.  Our intellectual work is, therefore, synonymous with our activist work.  We cannot be one without the other.

The question of what we cannot know is not only important in its own right but has also taken on additional importance in light of the rise of misinformation and "alternative facts." A better understanding of whether or not something can possibly be known has the capacity to shape inquiry, scholarly research, and public education.
