Abstract

Our understanding of and experiences with leadership intentionally articulate the attributes and characteristics that have emerged from our lived experiences and realities of interacting with our mentors, mentees, colleagues, and others that are pivotal in our daily survival as women in academia. We believe in understanding ourselves as leaders who seek to humanize our female experiences. Our work extends the limited literature on self-reflexivity of teacher educators in TESOL (Peercy et al., 2019, p. 482) towards a greater understanding of female leadership identity construction in TESOL. Building on the work of critical educators (Anya, 2020; Freire, 1970), in this chapter, five female teacher-scholars share our experiences and intersectionalities with female leadership identities to “agentively leverage” our co-constructed beliefs (Peercy et al., 2019) in a way that challenges male dominated discourses in our field. We theorize our critical incident data sources (Farrell, 2008; Tripp, 1994) using the narrative data analytic tools (Creswell & Poth, 2018) as a way to engage in collaborative critical self-reflexivity. Doing so allows us to unpack and reimagine our leadership identities to be intentional collective and embodied leaders.
