Abstract
In the past decade, much of the research has focused on the understanding of what it means to be a SoTL researcher and the challenges of conducting SoTL in postsecondary institutions (Bass 2020) that tend to value traditional disciplinary research. While much of the literature speaks to “doing SoTL scholarship” (Felten 2013), less focus is on the researchers themselves: “being” a SoTL scholar. A case in point: we are six women scholars from different disciplines, institutions, countries, and academic levels and roles, as demonstrated in table 16.1 later in the Research Design section.
