Abstract
Agony. Since the invitation to write this biographical reflective paper I have agonised over what I can and can’t say, about what should remain unsaid and even perhaps unthought, about the impossibility of representing adequately what Deakin and ‘the Deakin project’ meant to me and others and what life at Deakin did for and to me. I have, what I think of, as a melancholic relationship to Deakin.
