Hi Sandra, I've always found this Tey Meadow piece very helpful: Meadow, Tey. "Studying Each Other: On Agency, Constraint, and Positionality in the Field." Journal of Contemporary Ethnography 42.4 (2013): 466-481. On Fri, May 11, 2018 at 3:07 PM, Sandra Markus <sm3291@tc.columbia.edu> wrote:
Hello! I am a doctoral candidate at Teachers College, Columbia University. My dissertation looks at craft, online crafting communities, and craftivism. I have a great deal of familiarity with these communities, both professionally and personally. I am trying to grapple with the issue of positionality in my research. How does my familiarity shape my interpretation? How do you reconcile an inner status with trying to retain a researcher’s impartiality or distance? Or is that impossible to expect? Any insights, thoughts, helpful article would be appreciated!
