title = "Telling my story: Being female in outdoor education in higher education",
abstract = "This life-narrative reflects upon one female{\textquoteright}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{\textquoteright}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.",
