Abstract
This chapter brings together our thoughts on our journey so far as co-editors of this book. Editing this book has been a privilege, many of the chapters have lifted our hearts, and brought to us new concepts and perspectives on the special virtue that is humanising. It provides an overview of how the key themes weave themselves throughout the book. One of our many mantras shouted very loudly, is the joy of working in the HE sector, we define this as—passion, purpose and privilege. This chapter allows us to explain what it is to feel passionate about our work, the gratitude we feel to be part of this sector, and the clear role that humanising has in our practice, in cementing our purpose.
