Abstract
“Being me” as a qualitative researcher can be harder than it looks or sounds. In this chapter I tell the methodological story of a 3-year life history study that aimed to explore the development of teacher professional identity. Through the telling of the story, I argue that critical to the achievement of authenticity in qualitative research is the achievement of a level of congruence between three key dimensions: design, process and reporting.
