“If research hasn’t changed you as a person, then you haven’t done it right” (Wilson, p.135).

The concept of "becoming other" remained an elusive concept to me. I carried it- alongside the idea of "being with-" with me, almost to the last weeks of my community-based research.

Rather than defining "becoming other" here, I pass the concept on to you, to take along and consider as you continue your way across this Knowledge-Land-Scape.
