Her unique personal and academic journeys have led her to develop a rare identity as a “SoTL citizen,” yet at the same time she has had to push past “repeated questions and gatekeeping” as a student and young scholar. She encourages the reader to push boundaries, to keep the field open, and ultimately to create radical change in higher education. Chapter DOI: https://doi.org/10.36284/celelon.oa6.3 Discussion Questions Do you identify as a SoTL Traveler, SoTL Exile, or SoTL Citizen? How has that identification shifted for you over time? How might it change in the future? Try to map the edges of yourself as a scholar. Where does SoTL fit on that map? What might you do to ease the transition of SoTL travelers and exiles in the field? How can you support the development of SoTL citizens? Think about the assumptions you hold about what scholarship should look like. Which assumptions could you do without? What would it look like to create scholarship differently? Share:
