Studies of dominant groups find that members conceptualize their experience in the world through the use of narratives that reinforce the legitimacy of both their dominant social position and existing race, class, and gender arrangements (Delgado, Stefancic, and Harris 2001; Frankenberg 1993; Sartell 1998). We have to look at how we fit into the master narrative and how our role in the master narrative is having an impact on our research. Difference makes a difference when we begin to look at other cultures or when we may assume that we are an insider because we are the same race but our experiences may make us an outsider. Working in a prison I. Identify with some struggles my students of color have experienced, but I have never lost my freedom or should I say I have never been incarcerated so to my students I am somewhat an outsider.
