Relational Hospitality in SoTL: Transdisciplinary Acts of Giving, Trust, and Service.

This paper explores the characteristics of relationships in SoTL, informed by the lived experiences of the authors. We situate our discussion in literature relating to relationship-rich education and academic hospitality, and propose three features that characterize SoTL-focused relationships: acts of giving, vulnerability and trust, and service. Taken together, and drawing on existing literature, we present the notion of Relational Hospitality as a key aspect of SoTL-focused relationships. The development of this piece itself was a relational act: The authors weave through insights drawn from multiple conversations, each conversation building on shared reflections, co-creating commonalities and questions, and collaborative editing of each other's writing.
