Abstract
The invitation to contribute to this collection offers me an opportunity to bring together what I regard as significant discourse parameters of a working life in order to see if, from the perspective of now, any useful constructs emerge. In line with the design of the collection, I also reflect on the process of passing knowledge on — an experience that involves as much getting as giving.
