([note on p.31](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/ADJRG6G2?page=31)) - First-person downstream research/practice involves personal self-observation of day-to-day behavior, being self-aware, and noticing the impact of one's actions in the wider world and how one's behaviors are or are not aligned with our espoused values. ([note on p.19](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/ADJRG6G2?page=19)) - It is very difficult to integrate inquiry and action in the present moment, so we can support and develop the capacity by reflecting on action afterwards. ([note on p.20](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/ADJRG6G2?page=20)) - can be enhanced by journal writing and reflection on audio- and videotapes of behavior. ([note on p.20](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/ADJRG6G2?page=20)) - First-person inquiry is best practiced in the company of peers.
