It is also an opportunity to present an upcoming book\, on Springer edited by me\, Kari Holdhus and Amira Ehrlich\, entitled: 'Methodological Musings: Thinking with Narrative in Music Education Research. See: Methodological Musings: Thinking with N arrative in Music Education Research I Springerlink. The book emerged afte r the international conference 'Narrative Inquiry in Music Education\, NIM E8'\, organized by Western Norway University of Applied Sciences\, my home institution. See: https://www.hvl.no/ ... /welcome-to-the-nime8-conferenc e- 2022/ After the conference\, we invited participants and other research ers in the field to contribute in an anthology targeting methodological is sues in narrative research. Writing narratively often implies personal inv olvement of the researcher. How do we\, as a community of researchers\, co pe with the position of 'self' and 'I' in our research? On what level is s elf-reflexivity relevant when working narratively? What kinds of questions do we bring to the table when we do research from the insider's position? Are we able to discuss blind spots in our own research? How can changes o f position open our eyes to new ways of perceiving? Such reflective questi ons can bring us into a landscape with greater awareness of how the 'gaze' of researchers is constituted. It could lead to interesting discussions a bout transparency and the need for sharing how we conduct our inquiries\, and not only narrative inquiries. Methodological awareness is a matter in all research.\n\nBiography: Tiri Bergesen Schei is Professor (Dr. Art.) in Music Education and Head of the strategic research program 'Arts\, Creati vity and Cultural Practices' at Western Norway University of Applied Scien ces (HVL).
