Unorthodox Piece

When the study’s foundation—the focus-interest (from the research problem, objective, methodology, and approach) and the theme-style (from jargon, language, terminology, and form)—differ, it should be loosened, relaxed, and open; otherwise, it would be unfair and inconsiderate (Brillo 2023, 2025 [message/lecture]).

The Right to Information

It is natural and should be common knowledge—especially transparency and information, which are the core of academia—that limiting, restricting, or concealing information severely undermines our democratic foundation and strays from academic principles
