ABSTRACT
Writing this chapter presented an opportunity to explore the pathways of my life and to compose a story of becoming—becoming a researcher, teacher and scholar—becoming, that spans a lifetime, traverses continents, transcends disciplines and intersects with the paths of many sojourners along the way. It is a story, a version of the continuing storying of life, that composes and recomposes the varied elements of personal and professional, social and historical, individual and collective biographies to paint a picture of becoming as a multi-layered, sociohistorical, and collective—not an individual—process. It is a process that keeps on going even as I write this chapter to capture the divergent elements of life into a cohesive story that I hope may reverberate with the readers’ own pathways of becoming.
