Revisiting Critical Event Narrative Inquiry
This thought-provoking research anthology adopts a postmodern stance and fills in a gap of knowledge for the education of professional development in teacher education, health sciences and the arts. Allowing subjectivity and multiple voices, the authors add to the intimate and negotiated knowledge of being and becoming – indigenous, architect, mother, teacher, health researcher, and supervisor. In fifteen chapters, the authors share knowledge of pain and reward in critical events in the realm of professional identity formation. The book provides a selection of personal and far-reaching stories and adds to the reflexivity of memories of critical events.

Abstract
I write this autoethnography to narrate and analyze experiences from my professional life’s history that I believe have shaped my identity as a female leader in my context. I describe my identity development within the framework of professional identity tensions, cultural contexts of gender and age. I reflect on language as a cultural lens that can influence interactions and practices of non-native speakers in the TESOL context and describe emerging as a young female leader in a context that associates competence with age and leadership with males. I hope this analysis and reflections of my autoethnography as a female leader from Egypt and Africa will help in understanding the complex processes of leadership identity construction for women in similar contexts and contribute to the literature about TESOL leadership by bringing an experience of a leader from a context that is rarely researched.
Abstract
In this collaborative autoethnography (CAE), we, three educators in post-secondary institutions in British Columbia, Canada, explore our attempts to decolonize our work. This research is informed by the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and our engagement with reconciliation. Methodologically, CAE allowed us to examine each other’s assumptions and experiences as we work to decolonize and address social injustice in our practices as educational leaders. We begin our piece with critical incidents that have led us to rethink and reframe our work as educators. Addressing our research questions, we observed the messiness and complexity in our work. To begin the process of decolonizing our work, what is needed is self-reflection, a re-imagining of current practices, active engagement through relational approaches and strong communities of practice.

Abstract
Through an autoethnographic inquiry, and from an Asian female’s perspective, this chapter depicts my leadership identity formation and transformation in U.S. higher education. I share my lived experiences of challenges, successes, and hidden efforts during my leadership role and academic career establishment over my transnational and cross-cultural trajectories, reflect on my personal and professional growth from a monolingual and monocultural student to become a bilingual and bicultural English teacher in U.S. higher education. With the driving purpose of advocating for Asian female non-native English-speaking TESOL professionals in Western academia, I also share my strategies in making sociocultural adjustments in coping with difficulties, and negotiating for professional, power, racial, and gender equality.
