ABSTRACT
Nearing the end of my career, this narrative reflects my thoughts entering unknown territory—exiting my postsecondary institution and entering retirement. After a lifetime of working, this piece lays bare my apprehension as I ponder the aging process and the future. Answering the question, “if there are no students, am I still a professor?” while implicitly exploring “am I becoming an old lady?” led me to contemplate my career in academia, including battles for survival and success. Consequently, I have come to a realization of critical magnitude—there are no awards for surviving racism, sexism, and ageism in the academy.

该学院没有因种族主义,性别歧视和年龄歧视而幸存的奖项:对一名资深教师的沉思
摘要
在我职业生涯快要结束时,这种叙述反映了我的想法进入了一个未知领域,即退出我的专上院校,然后退休。经过一生的工作,当我思考老化过程和未来时,这件作品使我感到不安。回答问题:“如果没有学生,我还是教授吗?” 而隐含地探索“我会变成老妇吗?” 使我考虑了自己在学术界的职业,包括为生存和成功而战。因此,我意识到了至关重要的意义-学院中没有因种族主义,性别歧视和年龄歧视而幸存的奖项。
