Abstract

This paper draws from a yearlong autoethnographic experiment in which I chronicled the process of cultivating a sourdough starter, baked lots of bread and then applied these principles to my intellectual life as a scholar of education. Towards these ends, this paper offers a critique of pipeline metaphors to better understand how the discourse of academic productivity “works and eats itself into the language and bodies of each and every one of us” and shapes our academic lives as scholars and the educational research we proliferate (Valero, et al., 2019 p. 150).
