On June 4th 2017, I was invited by the AEGIS for Life Alumni organization to be the featured speaker at the Second Annual Jack Mezirow Lecture, held at Teachers College, Columbia University. During this lecture I engaged the audience in a reflection around the complexity of the temporalities involved in adult learning. I suggested that we observe and question the conflicting rhythms that pace what we do, how we think, who we are, and how we develop ourselves.
