Academic Conference Title: Sea-change: Navigating the waves of change
The term “Sea-change” has been defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an “alteration or metamorphosis [or] a radical change”. It dates back further than that, to Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, in which the spirit Ariel sings:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change,
Into something rich, & strange.
These words remind us that change is difficult. It is to “suffer” but it is also to emerge “richer”, more valuable. It is not about losing the essence of who we are, but rather adding to it in significant, forward focused ways.
