Abstract
In a conversation a few years ago about our work as academics we discovered that we had both been told at more than one point in our current careers that we had arrived late to the academy. We were puzzled by this concept. What does it mean to arrive late in one’s life? What did we miss? How do we create/live our lives as academics when it appears that we are to understand that we are lacking? What accounts for our late arrival? What do we bring late to the academy? Where is lateness located in the curriculum? Where do those (of us) who arrive late find them(our)selves? What can we learn/teach from/about being late? We explore in this chapter the impact of labels and judgements on (our) identities and how we are continuously exploring, and also determining, the places of our identities in the curriculum.
