Abstract: Honoring and building on the work of Margaret Eisenhart, this set of papers delimits the myriad ways that four studies have reimagined cultural forms, deployed ethnographic methods, and conceived of researcher ethical responsibilities in studying engineering and science learning. Framed by cultural production theory, critical intersectionality, actor network theory, and a sociocultural-historical stance, these studies illustrate the interconnected nature of learning and becoming processes, the complexity of cultural forms and engineer/scientific identity productions, and the continued salience of structural forces to shape learning and becoming in life-wide settings. Ethnographic methods served these studies well by providing access to time-dependent processes, by immersing the researchers in their field sites over time, and by allowing seeing from the inside out to privilege the perspectives of research participants. Each study found ways to follow individuals and structures simultaneously, and to document cultural forms and variations in the ways insiders took up cultural forms.
