%X Using collaborative autoethnography methods, this article presents the
exploration of three non- traditional doctoral student¡¯s journey as they
evolved into a self-organized cohort. Individual processes involving
self-authorship, self-observation, personal reflections and analysis, combined
with group dialogues and conversations about the experience lead to a formed
sense of community amongst the researchers. Composite themes develop through a
collaborative analysis of individual personal narratives highlighting
significant learning experiences, adult development considerations, and the
culturally adaptive nature of non-traditional doctoral students that often remain
unexamined in other methodologies.
