Oh no, these are terrible news. When I started at InterMedia in Oslo around 2010, Gordon Well’s Dialogic Inquiry was still one of the core references informing much of the work that we were and continue doing on education. My condolences to colleagues, friends, and family. And thanks for sharing, Greg.

Colleagues,

It is with deep regret that I write to inform this community of the sudden passing of Gordon Wells. Gordon was struck by a car while riding his bike Sunday evening in State College, Pennsylvania, where he lived with his wife, Mari Haneda (a faculty member at Penn State University). He was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery but did not pull through. Gordon was a cherished and respected colleague, teacher, mentor, and friend to scholars and educators around the world. This is a shocking loss for Mari and Gordon's family and for all of us.
