ABSTRACT

This novella builds on a series of return visits to the previous novellas, reflecting upon and conducting inquiries into how the social conditions of academic life, everyday life, and family life are shaped by and shape the experience of living with three sons. It explores the question of the ‘home’ of the writer through diverse dilemmas, possibilities, and limitations of navigating in relation to the politics of academe set by disciplinary boundaries. It engages the reader in the question of what happens when disciplinary boundaries are dissolved, and interdisciplinary scholarship is created.
