Description

Having to comment on Bob Bullough's article is not an easy thing to do. The article represents a brilliant and very rich specimen of committed scholarly work on lives of teachers. So, on the one hand I feel honored and grateful for being part of this discussion, on the other I feel puzzled and challenged. How to discuss the work of a man that has been very inspiring, encouraging, and eye-opening for my own work? I admit: I deeply admire Bullough's work, which has been a crucial and powerful source in my narrative-biographical research on teachers' lives (e.g., Kelchtermans, 1993, 1996, 2007a; Kelchtermans & Ballet, 2002a, 2002b). Furthermore, over the years I've been lucky enough to meet and talk with him on several occasions. Those conversations always happened during "escape walks" in the margins of the American Educational Research Association conferences. In my experience escaping this way from the conference venue often brings the most powerful opportunities to 'confer.' The conversations with Bob Bullough always had that wonderful mixture of the academic and the intellectual passion on the one hand and the personal--our 'selves' as committed human beings--on the other. The stories of our work, work lives, and personal involvement were triggered and revealed themselves in their entanglement (in the same way as Bullough's article does). These genuine encounters of the personal and the professional are a rare thing in an academic world that so often is driven by competition, and that has made them even more rewarding, meaningful, and most enjoyable. Therefore I also deeply admire and appreciate the person in Bob Bullough and feel blessed by our friendship. Yet, let me move beyond this level of praise and testimony--however appropriate I feel they are--and rather try to develop a rational set of comments, triggered by Bullough's article. In order of doing so and to structure my thoughts, I'd like to quote the title of one of Paul Simon's albums. The album is called "You're the One." After this introduction it should come as no surprise that in my opinion Bob Bullough definitely "is the one" who deserves the second Michael Huberman Award. Stories of Stance and Belonging
