Abstract
The lecture will address the importance of the position and perspective of the researcher in designing, conducting, and writing up research based on the collection and analysis of qualitative data. Speakers will use practical examples from their own research experience to illustrate the benefits of incorporating considerations of reflexivity and positionality into the different stages of research.
The lecture will give insights to students or researchers who are interested in developing reflexive approaches as part of research methods.
