Slow wonder bears witness to the possibilities of the imagination. In a series of letters the authors playfully imagine alternatives to current orthodoxies that privilege technocratic approaches to education that have strangled discussion about what it might mean to make education good and right, or even beautiful. The authors position the imagination as a powerful site of resistance within education and academic life. They unpack our philosophical positionings through vignettes of our teaching practice, poetry written as reflective musings and discursive theoretical pieces, including letters they have written to others. We attempt to marry the poetic and the academic, the rational and the affective, to model a slow approach to wondering about the joy, beauty and possibilities of life. In this spirit, we "beat on, as boats against the current", in search of calm harbours for settled thinking.
