Reflecting on a classroom-based SoTL project, the author examines the role of cultural humility, respect, and reflection in developing new initiatives to engage faculty and students in SoTL. The chapter presents strategies for navigating cultural and institutional complexities, including hierarchical educational structures prevalent in Pakistan to foster collaboration and innovation in SoTL. Insights from students' voices in the author's SoTL project underscore the importance of incorporating students' perspectives to enhance teaching practices.
