QUOTE: [N]ot only did we challenge the relevancy of the basic conceptualizations made of us by traditional academia, but also the very process of discovery and education which have become alienated from the people concerned. . . . [I]n true education it is necessary for individuals to become actively involved in the process of their own education.
