Abstract	This theoretical paper takes up pieces of the process of thinking about, and proposing, my PhD research in the context of (my own) treaty personhood identities. Demonstrating tension through autobiographical writing, I aim to disrupt humanist notions of (my) self as stable, rational, and understandable. With some attention to certain poststructural philosophies, especially by engaging in Deleuzian lines of flight, I seek to continually unsettle the assumption that (my) self can be known fully, that (my) subjectivity can easily be named. Instead, I view identities as plural and shifting, and subjectivity as a process of identity formation that is socially constructed. As well, the process of writing such self-stories further constitutes (my) self, in a relational process with other texts and contexts, towards becoming-otherwise again and again. (As Provided).
