Sociological Research Online has been a significant outlet for my own research, most of which is in the sociology of education, and has also furthered my own thinking in the sub-discipline by publishing a wide range of pioneering articles on different aspects of education and learning. Indeed, I have chosen to base this anniversary contribution around a selection of articles that have played a key role in my own intellectual journey - from my PhD onwards. The selection is not an exhaustive collection by any means. Instead, I have structured it around three areas of my own work: higher education; internationalisation of education; and students, politics, and civic education - and, for each, included only three articles. This inevitably means that I have had to exclude much good work in the broader sociology of education. Nevertheless, for each of the nine articles, I outline their key arguments, explore their contribution to the sociology of education, and reflect on how they have informed my own research. I then consider some of the more general characteristics of this work in the context of Sociological Research Online 's next decade
