Is the outside constituted by the inside of the outside - in addition to the
interaction with the outside of others' insides? I am reflecting also on the
notion of 'role', Alon, as I engage with interest in your writing on the list
So if one adopts the role say of a researcher and also of a teacher where the
ontological values may be quite different - is this one outside of one inside
or a multiplicitous outside and inside, which is elected (ie as roles) or not?
My doctoral thesis focuses on the tri-multiplicity of myself as a professional
educator - as teacher, mentor and researcher and how my ownontological values
conflate but sometimes, apparently at least, contradict one another. It is a
self-study action research account of how I have come to be a research mentor.
Now if my outside as a multiplicitous educator is constituted by my inside as
someone seeking to Nurture Courage to Be (after Tillich) and actualisation
(after Maslow)is my outside not also constituted by my interaction with the
outsides of the pupils, teacher researchers and others with whom I do research
('with' is a more accurate description than saying others I do research 'on')
and thence by interaction with their insides which are manifested as outsides?
All this before breakfast on a Saturday morning!
Have a good weekend everyone,
Sarah
