Abstract: This research explores the complexities of constructing identities and fostering relationships as a transnational pracademic. It draws on my experiences as an academic researcher based in an Australian University with an NGO background, collaborating closely with Korean development practitioners and activists. The perceptions and realities of research, development practices, and activism, as influenced by national and institutional contexts, have shaped my pracademic identity and relationships with self, others, and practices. Furthermore, this paper underscores the significance of reflexivity in navigating the frictions that are inherent within this complex context, suggesting a critical examination of the meanings of research and development.
