ABSTRACT

Expanding upon Berthoff’s belief that “writing as a way of knowing lets us represent our ideas so that we can return to them and assess them” (1987, p. 11), duoethnography is a way of talking oneself into meaning. Duoethnographers use conversation as a means to generate data (stories) and analyze them through conversation. As Sitter reports,

as a result of this process and our ongoing conversation, I’ve developed a heightened awareness of how my past has influenced how I’ve taken up boundaries in my professional work. Our dialogue and reflection also opened up a space to journey through and within this topic and brought me to a deeper understanding of how I conceptualize boundaries. (p. 258).
