Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article, the author explores and shares with readers her writing exercise about and for “healing” as a transformative process, using a “tea ceremony” metaphor. The author argues that healing, interlocking with cultural and indigenous knowledge and identity, must be explored for those who are oppressed by social and cultural hegemonies in their societies. On the basis of appropriate literature and her own experiences as a Japanese woman, the author discusses social and historical constraints that Japanese women face. Using the Japanese tea ceremony as a metaphor, the author goes through three transformative steps in the writing journey: identifying what to heal from, looking at the historicity of Japanese women, and reclaiming who she is. Finally, the author reflects on this writing exercise as a transformative process and foregrounds the significance of understanding healing as a decolonizing epistemology and its implications for transformative learning.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
