Abstract
Although, in some disciplines, we are accustomed to reflecting on our research and how we have an impact on it, there may be less emphasis on the identity changes that we, ourselves, undergo when we teach qualitative research methods and the impact on us, as qualitative researchers, that our engagement with research participants may have on our own identities. Are we attuned to our own identity changes? How do we answer the hookah-smoking caterpillar? Would we fare better than Alice did?
