Hi, 

Here are two papers for you. They both deal with positionality and reflexivity in qualitative research. There is a feminist consideration in the first one. I hope you find them useful for your research.

All the best

Thomas

Thanks lot Thomas Antwi Bosiakoh . 

I would recommend the second paper of Thomas as well. A small remark though. This positionality and reflexivity is not limited to social scientist as well, even though social science has without a doubt discussed it most. But take big data research for example. Even though the methods are quantitative, the learning sets used are constructed by humans and used as a starting point. This construction process deserves some attention (it seldom gets btw). There's actualy a great text on how the fields are coming closer together. Other excellent work can be found from the hand of biologists Maturana & Varela in the field of systems theory, where second order systems theory also deals with reflexivity.

You're welcome. Should have a paper uploaded on this myself in the next few weeks btw, as it's my current field of interest.

Thanks, ones again
