Subject: Can an inner class get its container at runtime?

Is there a way for an inner class to find out what class owns it? The
code I'd like to use looks like:

class AbstractInnerClass
  def do_something
    # here's where I need to find the owner of the concrete child
  end
end

class OuterClass
  class ConcreteInnerClass < AbstractInnerClass
  end
end

I'd love to be able to call ConcreteInnerClass#do_something and know
that it can find OuterClass. Is there a way for me to do this?
