My 'conversations, choices and chances': Becoming a law lecturer in the 21st century

Abstract

This paper reflects on my first year as a law lecturer. It considers the conversations, chances and choices that have shaped my growing into the role of legal academic. Based on my personal reflections, the paper examines what it is that I think I am trying to do in carrying out the business of the university and how that fits within the institutional framework in which I operate. Mirroring the realities of my time as a lecturer so far, the paper focuses on my development as a teacher.
