“…These questions revealed a concern with compensating marginalized members of the community for their time and energy and how the results would be made available and accessible to the community. CRIPSiE's research application questions also revealed a preference for insider researchers, that is, researchers who have ties to CRIPSiE or other communities like CRIPSiE (Krpitchenko & Voloder, 2014). The research ethics that informed CRIPSiE's application to do research in the community were similar to the concerns of artsbased research and PAR that prioritize the community and its values in the research process.…”

The arts-based research paradigm prioritizes creativity, relationships and the potential of transformative change (Conrad & Beck, 2016). Arts-based research may be useful in disability communities where people may prefer to communicate artistically or through movement, rather than through spoken word (Eales & Peers, 2016). Participatory action research (PAR) involves researchers working with communities to create research critical of dominant power relations and responsive to the needs of communities (McIntyre, 2008). Both arts-based research and PAR value an axiological approach that is responsive to the community’s needs over a dogmatic procedure, meaning that researchers must be reflexive and responsive to the often unexpected realities of the field. Over four months in 2017, eight dancers/researchers from CRIPSiE (Collaborative Radically Integrated Performers Society in Edmonton), an integrated dance company, came together to investigate how integrated dancers practice elements of timing in rehearsal, through an arts-based, participatory process. In this paper I examine the gap between my assumptions of how research should be conducted and the reality of the field, specifically: the tension between university research ethics and the ethics of the CRIPSiE community, the differences between the value of the rehearsal process and the performance as sites of data collection, and the assumptions I had made about the necessity of a singular research question.

“…"There has been a strong tradition of professing a dichotomy between insider and outsider research" (Kirpitchenko & Voloder, 2014). However, some authors argue that the polarity of insider-outsider is incorrect (Chavez, 2008;Merton, 1972).…”

“…It cannot be said that an insider or outsider researcher is more advantaged or better than the other. Merton (1972) has suggested that neither 'insiders' nor 'outsiders' have privileged access to information in the field, but rather the "different positions produce distinct knowledge, and that neither can be said to occupy a higher status in terms of 'objectivity,' 'subjectivity' or 'authenticity'" (Kirpitchenko & Voloder, 2014). Chavez (2008) in talking about insiders and outsiders, quotes Naples as stating that neither of them has "a monopoly on advantage or objectivity" and "what is lost on the swings is more than compensated for on the roundabouts" (Mercer, 2007).…”

Insider research has in the past challenged researchers in terms of blurred lines, objectivity, bias confidentiality and maintaining professional working relationships. The opportunities it presents however include access to information, trust in the data collection, insider and intimate knowledge, and the ability for rich inside data collection. This paper discusses these opportunities and challenges, then makes recommendations for ten strategies to assist in data collection by an insider researcher. These strategies include communication, mixed methods, reflections, debrief, distance, confidentiality, interview technique, social network, voluntary and objectivity. The research concludes with the creation of a Model of Mitigation, which posits the ten mitigation strategies along with the four opportunities to assist insider researchers to overcome obstacles when conducting insider research, as insider research has been shown to collect rich data and enable organisations to reflect on the research findings and to implement recommendations made on an individual but organisation wide basis.

“…Successful knowledge translation includes interactive practices, such as collaboration, linkages, sharing and exchanges of cultural perspectives. This project benefits from utilizing insider research methods and auto-ethnography (Kirpitchenko & Voloder, 2014), as the researcher has been actively engaged in the interactive practices, and she has been a part of transnational academic mobility as a participant and a researcher for a number of years. These transnational academic mobility experiences have helped the researcher to develop an insider's viewpoints on the intricacies of intercultural dialogue in the milieu of internationalized education and transnational knowledge mobility.…”
