In chapter two, I explore how administrators in the university might pursue radical activity despite their complicity in a hegemonic institution. I propose the framing of aspirational radicality to describe a path forward, and apply that theorization to the project of graduate professional development. In chapter three, I explore radical reimagining as the first stage of praxis as a theory and in preliminary application. I do so through the case study of my own praxis, which I call creative expansive vocation, in application on graduate professional development.
