The passion, politics, and ethics of self and scholarship.

What is it about?

The choices we make about the type of work we do as scholars are not just intellectual ones, they are intricately interwoven with who we are, and have political consequences in terms of our identities and career. This is particularly so for critical and reflexive scholars struggling with their sense of self in relation to the wider academy. Drawing from hermeneutic phenomenology and utilizing narrative ethnography, I explore my experience of alterity to encourage scholars engaged in non-mainstream work to persevere and find a way forward.
