When I considered research in my practice as a supervisor of teachers working inside a juvenile correctional facility, I sought ways to explore aspects of my personal experience. Heeding Reason’s (1994) call for ‘critical subjectivity’ in attending to the ground on which one stands, I suggest that it is possible, by craning my neck or standing on tiptoe, as it were, to change positions, if not to leave the ground entirely. In this article I seek to capture a moment in the process of action research – a moment that occurs before engaging with others in collaborative sense-making in our joint practice. I explore my experience in this moment through five different perspectives: subjective embodiment in the practice; reflection on the practice; frames of reference; relevant and emergent theories; and personal stakes in the matter. While this effort falls within the realm of firstperson inquiry as discussed by Reason and Marshall (2001), Torbert (2000), and Reason and Torbert (2001), it also has elements of second-person inquiry, as it is oriented toward the practice I share with others.
