Abstract
In this piece, I trace origins of my own quit story. My decision came later than many people’s, as I’d been a faculty member for seven years and had the good fortune of earning tenure. Also, my ability to make this decision is wound up with my positionality as a white, cisgender, able-bodied, U.S.-born, middle/upper-class woman in a stable partnership with many privileges. My positioning is part of the story, as is the pressure not to leave higher education after putting in many years.
