Abstract
This article explores how living and working in South Africa has shaped my career as a global environmental historian. It focuses on the concept of network analysis to highlight how theoretical and empirical research is informed by life experiences and by our engagement with the profession of history. The article concludes by thinking about how the study of our own lives can lead us to have more introspection as scholars and teachers.
