Abstract
This article discusses the late Edward Said's (1994) Representations of the Intellectual, uses the metaphor of Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antarctic on the Endurance, and reflects on my own academic work experience to examine the disjuncture and challenges involved in carrying out critical intellectual work in the context of the academic institution. It addresses the question of what we can do as academics to reclaim our voices as agents of change and promoters of critique and dissent. About the Author Jane Dawson is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Adult Education at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. Her areas of research interest include the experience of academic work, critically reflective practice, and arts-informed research. She can be contacted at jdawson111@gmail.com

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
