Abstract

This chapter reflects on my transition from fresh graduate, student union bureaucrat, learning developer, and then to my first academic role as a Lecturer in Education Studies. I like to think of this as a story of perseverance, hard work and perhaps a smattering of good luck. More importantly, I think my story shows that there are multiple routes into an academic role, and increasingly, there is permeability between professional support roles within universities and the more traditional academic roles; and that gap might be smaller than we think.
