“…When learning about critical qualitative health research, one of the basic elements of reflexivity that is taught is positionality (Day, 2012;Gastaldo, 2015;Waterston & Rylko-Bauer, 2007). Some of the many facets that make up our social identities include but are not limited to class, citizenship, ability, age, race, sexual orientation, cis/trans status, and gender (Collins, 2015;Dhamoon & Hankivsky, 2011).…”

The way that we as researchers view and interpret our social worlds is impacted by where, when, and how we are socially located and in what society. The position from which we see the world around us impacts our research interests, how we approach the research and participants, the questions we ask, and how we interpret the data. In this article, we argue that it is not a straightforward or easy task to conceptualize and practice positionality. We have developed a Social Identity Map that researchers can use to explicitly identify and reflect on their social identity to address the difficulty that many novice critical qualitative researchers experience when trying to conceptualize their social identities and positionality. The Social Identity Map is not meant to be used as a rigid tool but rather as a flexible starting point to guide researchers to reflect and be reflexive about their social location. The map involves three tiers: the identification of social identities (Tier 1), how these positions impact our life (Tier 2), and details that may be tied to the particularities of our social identity (Tier 3). With the use of this map as a guide, we aim for researchers to be able to better identify and understand their social locations and how they may pose challenges and aspects of ease within the qualitative research process. Being explicit about our social identities allows us (as researchers) to produce reflexive research and give our readers the tools to recognize how we produced the data. Being reflexive about our social identities, particularly in comparison to the social position of our participants, helps us better understand the power relations imbued in our research, further providing an opportunity to be reflexive about how to address this in a responsible and respectful way.

“…Ob raziskovanju travmatičnih spominov, kakršni so spomini na holokavst, ko so raziskovalci vedno znova prisiljeni oživljati boleče spomine, se postavljata tudi vprašanje etnične odgovornosti raziskovalca do raziskovanih in zahteva, da je raziskovalec do njih prijazen ter skuša minimizirati njihovo bolečino (Goslinga in Frank 2007: 15;Waterston in Rylko-Bauer 2007).…”
