Abstract	There is a certain similarity between the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA) and the leaning tower of Pisa. Both have a certain presence on the landscape: the tower has a commanding appearance on the Italian countryside while PESA has left its mark on the academic fabric of Australasia. Both are much loved: Pisa by visiting tourists and PESA by its members. Both lean: Pisa at an angle that gives it its unique character and PESA through intellectual and political forces. Both were at one time in danger of collapse and both have been rescued. Neither is yet completely safe. However, with both, there is much to celebrate. In this article, the author describes his student life, academic career, and his attendance at PESA conferences. (ERIC).
