Abstract

The chapter is a personal reflection on the transition into the academy after twenty five years as an educational practitioner. It explores issues around assuming an academic identity and questions whether critical thinking is the exclusive preserve of academia. The chapter draws on a narrative and autobiographical approach to inform understanding and generate discussion.
