“…Post-postcolonialism is a positionality that I seek to hold which promotes a hybridisation of different perceptions including cultural, for mutual learning (Bhabha, 2012;Gosselin et al, 2016). It means deliberately giving agency to 'other' or people of a country formerly colonised, whilst remaining reflexive to one's own ethnocentrism, meaning the tendency to consider the world only through our own cultural eyes (Falen, 2020). It means continuously embracing a mutual curiosity of difference (Etim, 2019;Falen, 2020;Shapiro, 2000).…”

“…It means deliberately giving agency to ‘other’ or people of a country formerly colonised, whilst remaining reflexive to one’s own ethnocentrism, meaning the tendency to consider the world only through our own cultural eyes (Falen, 2020). It means continuously embracing a mutual curiosity of difference (Etim, 2019; Falen, 2020; Shapiro, 2000). Thus, my desire to ‘help’ could now be perceived as a colonial manifestation of ingrained white superiority - a self-perception of being a ‘white saviour’ (Straubhaar, 2015); or a post-colonial continuation of an oppressive stance where I had power (Falen, 2020); or alternatively a post-postcolonial desire for one group of people to share good practice with another for mutual benefit (Datta, 2018; Gosselin et al, 2016).…”

I did this process for all 55 codes, analysing them all against the colonial, post-colonial and post-postcolonial frames, holding my previously unknown assumptions and new insights to account.…”

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how presuppositional interviews can develop reflexive transparency in grounded theory methodologies. Grounded Theory aims to generate understanding of a given socio-psychological process using a systematic methodology for gathering, analysing and interpreting data. As the researcher is intrinsic to this process, reflexivity is an essential tool to explore and challenge the researcher unknown presuppositions that influence the research process and findings. Reflexivity in practice is challenging as it aims at identifying unknown influences which are by nature, hidden. In this paper, we demonstrate how presuppositional interviews can be applied to Classic and Constructivist grounded theory, and to qualitative research in general. We illustrate this process with two practical case studies, demonstrating how the presuppositional interview can be utilised to enhance transparent reflexive practice. We suggest the presuppositional interview enables higher levels of reflexivity and subsequent positive impact on praxis and the research process.
