Reflections on Learning Through and From Intimate Scholarship

Through the narrative findings generated from intimate scholarship (IS), readers can learn with and from these scholars about experiences that have deepened their understandings of aspects of their teaching practice. In this chapter, we begin by situating ourselves as authors and mathematics teacher educator researchers. This is followed by a discussion of the ways that the authors in this collection have positioned their IS work – methodologically, theoretically, and analytically. We then draw on a self-study lens to reflect on each chapter, sharing aspects of our own scholarly work which were activated and processed with new perspectives through reading the chapters in this book. We close by highlighting how each of the authors in this collection successfully invited us to grow and learn alongside them.
