The Carnegie Foundation’s book, “The Formationof Scholars: Rethinking Doctoral Education for the Twenty-First Century” explores manyavenues of growth for higher education. One of their key highlights is the importance of studentinvolvement in evolving an educational program. Students are “the secret weapon for change”,and they found that when faculty were asked to work alongside students while reforming theirprograms, the faculty’s most transformative

Through cultivation of this reflexive knowledge, we developeddeeper insights into the participants lived experiences and how that knowledge emerged [51].The third author is a White cisgender woman with research experience related to engineeringgraduate students’ mental health. The fourth author is a White cisgender man with extensiveundergraduate teaching experience and research experience in cognitive human factors duringhis Ph.D. and, since then, design-based engineering education research focused on mid-yearengineering science courses. The third and four authors served as a point of triangulation,challenging the rigor of the data analysis processes and interpretation of the findings. All authorsengaged in discussions
they are housed, provided students with an overview of journey mappingmethods and modeled the journey mapping process using a persona the researchers developed.Participants were then asked to map their researcher identity development by semester. The mapswere designed to be completed in table form with columns for the semester, activity, emotionalresponse (ranging from very negative to very positive), and explanation of how this activitypromoted or hindered researcher identity development. (Figure 1 is a screenshot of a journeymap students created during the persona training session.) Figure 1: Sample journey map for a participant’s third semester in a doctoral program.

In another study, a participant, Alysa, said “‘I heard about thewhole graduate school and Ph.Ds. and all that, and I’m like yeah, I want to be a doctor. But thenI’m like ‘wait, what if DACA gets taken away?’” [46] (p. 327). Her question, along with others,highlighted the effects of political threats on a displaced students’ liminal legality andprofessional identity; they reified one’s in-between status, espouse its temporariness, and madelooking for work seem futile [21]. These students’ experiences also showed that, liminal
