Pandemic Pandemonium: Negotiating Identities As A Middle Grades School Parent, Doctoral Student, And High School Mathematics Teacher, Veronica Cambra-Faraci
Pandemic Pandemonium: Negotiating Identities As A Middle Grades School Parent, Doctoral Student, And High School Mathematics Teacher, Veronica Cambra-Faraci
Middle Grades Review
This autoethnographic study represents a reflection of my experiences as a parent of middle school children, doctoral student, and mathematics high school teacher through the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Navigating all three identities simultaneously presented many challenges, including fear, isolation, and exhaustion; however, it also allowed me to reflect upon and transfer methods that I perceived as effective from one of my identities to one or more of my other identities. Therefore, this study investigated how reflecting upon my own funds of identity influenced my practices as a high school mathematics teacher during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Qualitative Report
In this article, I use an autoethnographical approach to explore how I identified my research interests of student voice, action research, and students as scientific researchers. My purpose was to identify some of the influences on my academic life. To achieve this goal, I used my writing as a method of both data collection and analysis combined with my parents’ interpretations of events to create narratives of my lived experiences. This process allowed me to make sense of how my lived experiences shaped my decision to become a doctoral student and the choices I have made as a novice researcher.
