The other day I had the honor of having breakfast with my one of my favorite Graduate School professors. Our daughters were talking about books and games they liked to play and I was amazed.
I said, “I just do not have that kind of imagination!”
My professor said, “You have a Sociological Imagination.”
And that, indeed, I do have. If only it involved the occasional fairy, mischievous elf, or talking animals.
The Sociological Imagination is something that is a blessing and a curse.
