This life-narrative reflects upon one female′s career in outdoor education in higher education, the contention being that distributive equality is no longer enough—progress lies in tackling the gendered world that reproduces the problem. Noffke′s (Review of Research in Education, 22, 305–343, 1997) work, particularly her use of professional, personal, and political dimensions, frames the narrative and emphasizes the sociopolitical construction of identity. A challenge is offered to all in the field to share their own critically reflexive stories as a way of interrogating professional practice and the circumstances of that practice, in order that outdoor education as a field can transgress its current gendered nature, rather than simply perpetuate the existing hegemonic discourse.
