Academic sources can support but should not supplant the empirical research.
One might bear in mind Levinas’insistence on the importance of the face-to-face
encounter.
The point of research of this kind is not the academic output, but theencounter,
including all the difficulties of fear, access, poor communication, language issues,
cultural differences, visual symbols, social conventions...that stand in the way of
good relationships and good teaching.
