Abstract
This paper contributes to the discussion of researching identity when researchers identify as insiders of a disempowered or marginalized community. I argue both the value and complexity of researchers managing dual roles as an insider-outsider when identity formation is central to the research study. This paper will address methodological and philosophical concerns related to researchers identifying as insiders while conducting the research as an outsider.
