- Title
The Growth Stages and Maturation of an Outsider-Within: Developing a Critical Gaze and Earning the Right to Speak.
- Authors
Hendrix, Katherine Grace
- Abstract
In this autoethnography, I trace the origins of my development as an “outsider-within”; thereby, creating an argument that childhood family lessons, lived experience, and responses to my presence by members of academic in-groups, all have shaped my existence and behavior as “Other” carefully positioned at the edge of the orchard oftentimes referred to as “the life of the mind.” The early stages of my growth into the role of outsider-within are shared along with three phases of maturation into a critical interpretivist researcher: trailblazing, defiance, and crisscrossing the terrain.
