In exile/in flight: A poetic autoethnography of academic banishment

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

From 2008-2010 I was Assistant Professor in the Division of Creative Arts in Learning at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For various reasons, I commuted to and from my family home in Victoria, British Columbia to Boston. The position itself, teaching within a graduate program in arts integration, also called for substantial travel as the program is carried out in over 20 states. During this challenging time I met many friends and colleagues who told me of their own periods of academic exile. This seems to be a common occurrence, as scholars are most often not able to choose where they work. Although we are highly privileged members of the social elite, we share this experience with migrant workers around the world who are forced, due to economic duress, to spend long periods away from loved ones.
