“…This approach relies on expanding critical self-reflection of one’s experiences from a “solo performance” to a collaboration among several researchers at once examining themselves and interrogating each other’s experiences through the meaning-making process (Chang et al, 2013, p. 24). Marginalized groups in academia have used CAE to highlight oppressive structures within, for example, women faculty leadership development (Devnew, Austin, Le Ber, LaValley, & Elbert, 2017), immigrant women faculty of color and leadership (Ngunjiri & Hernandez, 2017), burgeoning student of color researcher identity (Murakami-Ramalho, Piert, & Militello, 2008), and women of color student leadership in psychology (Hargons, Lantz, Reid Marks, & Voelkel, 2017).
