Dr. Robyn Ober’s chapter illuminates a career trajectory from teacher education practice in rural, remote and metropolitan schools which came full circle when she returned to Bachelor Institute, where she had done her initial teacher training course, to teach a new generation of educators. Dr. Ober reminds us of value of research mentorship, initially as she learned alongside more experienced researchers and later as she experienced the satisfaction of mentoring Indigenous students in their own learning journeys. She outlines the importance of Indigenous leaders and role models to show the possibilities in doctoral education and equally shows the significance of sharing the often-lengthy doctoral journey, with Indigenous colleagues. Dr. Ober also highlights the strangeness of finishing such a large undertaking and the sudden shift to the rigors of a scholarly life of teaching, publishing and generally being in demand.
