Post-Academia: Life, Liberty, and Happiness?

In this narrative autoethnography, I reflect on living in Post-Academia. First, I discuss how universities have become more managerial and less collegial. Then, I consider my own move from being an academic to becoming a post-academic (even verging on the post-humous). Finally, I look at the possibilities of living a sort of flourishing life in post-academia, enjoying a new sense of liberty, and accepting, despite increasing decrepitude, enough happiness to see me through.
