Posted on January 27, 2018 by grahamgilesubc Obviously, the smallest step on this pathway needed the biggest name… So here we come to an end of many beginnings, with a coda of a few statements and reflections we could not bear to omit – with regard for some of the commitments to assessment that were shared with us […]
