Abstract

Specialist Studies in Education
It is interesting when someone writes about a phenomenon you have been longing for, seeking and trying to create over a long period of time. Sometimes a term is coined that immediately brings everything into view, embodied efforts, yearnings and feelings over years . . . all suddenly connected and clarified. This is what the term 'slow scholarship' has done for me. I am grateful for the threads of meaning offered to me by Alison Mountz and friends (Mountz et al., 2015), and Maggie Berg and Barbara Seeber (Berg & Seeber, 2016) and others (Ulmer, 2017; Walsh & Bai, 2015). Threads that have served to connect my deep thoughts and feelings about my personal/professional life in the academy. Threads that I now weave into this chapter.
