This dichotomy was then reflected in her patternsof activism in her marginalized identities. Kayla’s resulting acts of resistance for her genderidentity was external, and her resistance for her sexual identity was internal. In both cases, herresistances included a social critique and an interest in social justice, making them both forms oftransformational resistance. However, her patterns of resistance between her visible identity as awoman and her invisible asexual identity differed significantly.It is important to note that

In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010

Understanding arises simultaneouslyfrom individual reflections, as well as through interpretation of the collective experiences acrossgroups of individuals to explore the similarities and differences.

Analysis occurs over several iterations, and involves assessingeither the entire transcript [14] or decontextualized excerpts referred to as a “pool of meanings”[15, p. 43].
