ABSTRACT
This chapter was originally published as: Klevan, T., Karlsson, B., and Grant, A. (2019). ‘The color of water: An autoethnographically inspired journey of my becoming a researcher.’ The Qualitative Report, 24(6), pp. 1242–1257. The original, published, paper was based on Trude’s PhD journey, in terms of it serving as an exemplar of how autoethnography can be understood and practised, following particular epiphanic moments in the life of a becoming-academic. The original text has been modified to fit as a chapter in this book and is extended on in a more recent dialogical exchange between Alec and Trude.
