Abstract

Using feminist reflexivity and a plurality of onto-epistemological perspectives, hegemonic traditions shaping educational research, critical questions for thinking about ‘the affective turn’ in science identity research are rendered visible. Critically thinking with and through the complex entanglement of story(ing) the studying emotions in research on science identity, provocations for the field are illuminated: What stories have we been telling about emotions in science? What stories contribute to the erasure of emotion for cultivating a complex understanding of science identity? Inspired by feminist theorists from transdisciplinary contexts, this work grapples with the temporalities of the emerging affective turn in science identity research.
