This book is based on an empirical study with ten post-graduate students of human and social science at University of Warwick. It aims to re-conceptualise transition with reference to the way students discuss their personal experiences. The book has the form of a narrative that is based on the post-modern idea of creating the conditions that describe what cannot be represented. The central argument of the book is that either we always learn in transition or that learning is always transitional. Based on this argument the book takes the form of a journey in which the author traces issues relevant to transition, such as behavioural changes, emotional and cognitive in/stability, work and identity, learning and personal development.
