The notionthat a given teaching space is unsafe for persons of sensory impairment or limited mobilityshould begin, not end, conversations about inclusion.The idea that that a visually impaired student could not be safe in the chemistry laboratory shedsa raking light on the moral economy of STEM instruction. “Accommodation” and changes ofany kind deriving from the needs or positions of students (rather than from inside the customaryexpertise of STEM professors) challenge ideas central to the culture of STEM. These are notsimply hierarchical habits that on principle devalue the experiences of

Despite ongoing critiques of this mindset as inaccurate and a barrier to learningand identity formation (e.g., [20], [21], [22]), some academic communities, such as theengineering research laboratory groups that co-author Wylie studies, continue to talk aboutnovices according to this model. This approach does great injustice to newcomers to expertcommunities as well as robs experts of opportunities to learn from “a wisdom of peripherality”([23] p. 216), i.e., the invaluable perspective of outsiders.

A case study methodology is not bound by any specific type of data but, more sothan other methodologies (e.g. historical, laboratory, etc.), requires the convergence of differenttypes of data sources for strengthening the validity and accuracy of the findings [8]. This meansthat case study research often requires multiple research methods for collecting data. One way that validity can be constructed in case study research is through the process ofcomparing and converging multiple sources of evidence, otherwise known as “triangulation” [8].For the case of Julie’s teaching and coaching, data included field notes, audio and visual materi-als (i.e. digital audio
