Chapter 13 Identity and Research: Exploring Themes of Scholarship of an American Indian Scholar in the Academy

Abstract

This chapter explores the personal experiences of the author as an American Indian woman working as a faculty member at a research university. The author identifies three conceptualized themes that inform her work: identity, mentorship, and research. These three themes are discussed as a catalyst for the ways in which research culture may shift in the twenty-first century university.
