Abstract
Constructing a research identity is a fragile task often asked of students in research methods courses; yet, there are few studies that consider how students go about negotiating and displaying their research identity(ies). In this session, we highlight findings from a discourse analysis study informed by discursive psychology of online discussions of graduate students who discuss their research paradigms, and explore how they discursively (re)negotiate their identity as researchers.
