Intimate Scholarship: An Examination of Identity and Inquiry in the Work of Teacher Educators

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
International Handbook of Teacher Education

Abstract

In this chapter we look across the literatures of identity, inquiry, and pedagogy to explore the place of teacher educators in their institutions and the methodologies for inquiry they use to sustain themselves as instructors and scholars. Through examination of practice that represents a fundamental quality of teacher education and guided by felt obligations to students, teachers and teacher education, the evolution of identity formation as a site for the growth of professional knowledge occurs through experience. This chapter articulates the need for and potential contribution of intimate scholarship to the conversation concerning research on teacher education. We assert that intimate scholarship includes various methodologies but we privilege this label when the researcher is one of the researched. In addition, relational ontology grounds researchers with a focus on the particular rather than the universal, a coming-to-know process through dialogue and a context that includes a space of vulnerability and openness.
