A Place for Agency, a Place for Positivism, a Place for Both over the Life Course

Abstract

“Why don’t you meet me in the middle, middle.” Maren Morris “Middle” When I woke up this morning, I got out of bed, opened my bedroom door, went to the other side of the house, into the home office, turned on the computer, logged in, and opened up my word processing program. I then proceeded to create a new document and stared at the white screen familiar to us all. I did all of these acts purposefully and of my own accord. As a tenured, full professor nothing made me undertake all those steps on this particular morning.
