Title: | Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May... | Contributor(s): | Letters, Frances (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/16625 | Abstract: | I gathered rather a lot of rosebuds during my three years at UNE in the early 1960s. Buds: not yet full-blown flowers, but tentative sprouts humming with a hundred different sorts of energy and possibility. It would be easy to look back now, half a century later, and mourn the fact that most of the buds I chose to pick were not of the academic kind, or even particularly intellectual. Or the fact that none fitted me to march, single-minded and resolute, down any specific professional garden path, as, I believe, universities are expected to do these days. But I wouldn't dream of having any such regret. UNE gave me just what I'd grown up believing a university ought to provide: the freedom to wander through a rich and intricate garden maze, touching, sniffing and sipping everything on offer. A broad, truly privileged preparation for life. Whether in fact I chose to grab those opportunities with both hands is another matter entirely. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Came To New England, p. 184-194 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISBN: | 9781921597596 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160805 Social Change 170105 Gender Psychology 130303 Education Assessment and Evaluation |
