Explaining Myself
In this autobiographical case study of the early to mid-career development of an academic, I discuss my circuitous route from point A to B and ask what insights and lessons, if any, my life offers about how your professional lives (and the intersection of professional and personal) can, may, or will unfold. I also pose and publicly explore the question many mid-career academics ponder but may be reluctant to ask out loud: "Now what?"
