“…While now living and working in Australia, SK was born in a rural district in Afghanistan, an LMIC with poor maternal and child health outcomes and limited access to healthcare. Reflexively in the research process was operationalised via observation, reflection and through discussions with the other co-authors and colleagues [ 16 ]. MC’s medical background and clinical experience and discussion between MC and SK immediately after each interview enhanced data integrity.…”

Background: Stillbirth is a major global concern. However, most research has been conducted in high-income countries. Understanding of the experience and management of stillbirth in low-middle income countries is needed. Objective: This qualitative study explored health professionals' experiences of providing stillbirth care in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, a lower-middle-income country in SouthEast Asia. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 33 health professionals (doctors, midwives and nurses) and thematic analysis was undertaken. Results: All participants acknowledged stillbirth as a concern, but its incidence and causes were largely undocumented and unknown. A lack of training in managing stillbirth left health professionals often ill-equipped to support mothers and provide responsive care. Social stigma surrounds stillbirth, meaning mothers found limited support or opportunities to openly express their grief. Conclusions: Better awareness of stillbirth causes could promote more positive experiences for healthcare providers and parents and more responsive healthcare. This requires improved training for healthcare professionals and awareness raising in the wider community.

“…I selected semi-structured interviews as they provide the ability to focus on a specific area of interest (participation in a learning community) while allowing me to dialogically explore unexpected points of interest and delve deeper into key issues via probing questions (Brinkmann, 2018). In addition, in this study I recognize the claim made by numerous researchers (Kvale & Brinkmann, 2009;Mann, 2016) that an interview is a co-construction of knowledge in which the interviewer is "a knowledge-producing participant in the process" (Brinkmann, 2018(Brinkmann, , p. 1002. This naturally means that claims to generalizable 'truths' are problematic.…”

Although the importance of communities for social learning within self-access centers has been recognized over the last decade, there has yet been little research exploring student-managed communities in a self-access learning center (SALC). This short pilot study investigates the ways in which members identify with the community of practice (Wenger, 1998) of a student-led learning community within a university SALC. Five members of the Learning Community (LC), an English conversation community, were interviewed three times over the course of one semester about their language learning histories and their experiences in the LC. This data was analyzed inductively and subsequently categorized according to Wenger’s (2010) modes of identification – engagement, imagination, and alignment. The findings of the study indicated that members’ identification with the practice of the LC was connected to a desire for an accessible learning environment, attaining membership in an international imagined community of English users, and the ability to negotiate sociocultural norms for their own purposes. This study highlights a bidirectional relationship between the “baggage” that members bring with them and the everyday practice developed over the course of the LC’s two-year history. Additionally, the insights gained from this exploration of the LC CoP have practical implications for SALC staff aiming to cultivate and support student-led learning communities.

“…Researcher reflexivity has increasingly been discussed in applied linguistic Pérez-Milans (e.g., Starfield, 2013; Copland & Creese, 2016; Kirkham & Mackey, 2016; Mann, 2016; Pérez-Milans, 2017). Most of the discussions on reflexivity have focused on Pérez-Milans enactment of reflexivity in the research process (Sarangi & Candlin, 2003; Starfield, 2013; Pérez-Milans, 2017), that is, understanding reflexivity as the process in which researchers critically reflect on (1) their biases, theoretical predisposition, assumptions, and power relations vis-à-vis the researched, and (2) on how these aspects affect every stage of the research, from the disciplinary framing of the research questions, the choice of the research methodology, to how they present their findings (Schwandt, 2001; Guillemin & Gillam, 2004; Berger, 2015; Whitaker & Atkinson, 2019).…”

Research tasks on ethics in applied linguistics

The growing concern for ethics in applied linguistics may be attributed to attempts to stem the rising incidence of ethical lapses in order to ensure that the core ethical principles of (1) respect for persons, (2) yielding optimal benefits while minimizing harm, and (3) justice are preserved. Following a brief historical review of this topic, and building on the growing commitment to carry out ethical applied linguistic research, we map out seven research tasks that will enhance our understanding of how to extend this expanding research agenda. By inviting applied linguists to evaluate their methodological practices and those of their peers, we also argue for the need to develop the ethical dispositions of emerging applied linguists, with a view to create a more robust field.
