Positionality, Power and Privilege in Research
The workshop aims to critically explore positionality as a concept by looking at how it shapes the kinds of questions, we as researchers ask and how we relate to our participants. Specifically, the workshop aims to provide a space for reflection on what privileges and power relations are at play between researchers and their research participants, and why these matter.
Hovedinnhold
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the concepts of 'positionality, power and privilege' in light of a reading by the main presenter Rabia Ali (Reading shared below). They will also have a chance to listen to the reflections of more experienced scholars on how their positionality shapes their work. This will be followed by a Q & A session. More details will be posted here closer to the date.
Participants applying all methodological approaches in their research i.e., interviews, focus groups, ethnography, mixed methods etc. are welcome.
There will also be an opportunity to socialise and network at the end of the event. Coffee and Lunch will be provided.
