Book excerpt: This book offers a collection of 15 reflective biographical accounts of teachers, scientists, a childhood author, a philosopher, a dancer and other academics' journeys to becoming educational researchers. The personal and professional stories highlight for any would-be doctoral student, researcher or educationalist the challenges and problem resolutions to becoming a researcher. The reflective aspects of the narrated stories also include ‘what I wish I knew before I embarked’ upon the researcher journey. These wise words, drawing on lived-experiences, are useful for educational researchers, educational policymakers drawing on research and also those responsible for designing doctoral programmes. The penultimate chapter also introduces the passionate voices of the authors that convey the true reality of learning as they develop their identities, appropriate new forms of knowledge, knowing and understandings. In addition to this, the use of metaphors brings alive each authors’ experiences to demonstrate how this journey is profoundly transformational for everyone!
