Abstract

This paper consists of two stories that span three years of a learning sciences research project in order to demonstrate how 1) participating in this project shifted how undergraduate interns understood themselves as researchers and as practitioners within our project-and in other communities-in relation to our shared research; and 2) in turn, how the research practices in our project community shifted in relation to their participation. We leverage Lave and Wenger's (1991) legitimate peripheral participation framework as a way of showing how the learning and becoming of “newcomers” in a research community of practice can influence research practices within that community. As stated in the ISLS 2023 conference theme, this analysis helps us consider expansive ways in which we might want to “sustain our community” so we are becoming a community of practice where we make space for supportive and generous forms of relationality.
