| Summary: | <p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" dir="auto" id="d12606384e105">Positionality matters. Muscle memories matter. This article traces the journey of
a white Russian female scholar from voice, agency, and her ultimate reach toward epistemic
humility. I take the reader through formative experiences as an emerging scholar in
Soviet Russia and then as an academic researcher with significant epistemic privilege
in the United States. My understanding of my scholarly voice grows from no legitimate
voice to an inflicted collective voice, to hysterical individualism and then an internally
dialogic voice.

</sup> Concurrently, I reflect on my coming into agency through writing for publication
and doing research while I grow into and out of elitism and a desire for domination,
to embracing multiple centres of knowledge and an emerging new subjectivity. The through-line
of this journey is my continuous reach for epistemic humility. As my new researcher
subjectivity evolves, I aim to practice my agency in a sustainable collectivity.
