Background Many engineering education researchers acknowledge that their positionality impacts their research. Practices for reporting positionality vary widely and rarely incorporate a nuanced discussion of the impact of demographic identities on research. Researchers holding marginalized or relatively hidden identities must navigate additional layers regarding transparency of their positionality. Purpose We identify ways in which positionality impacts research, with a particular emphasis on demographic identity dimensions. We note that whether identities are relatively marginalized, privileged, hidden, or apparent in a research context creates complexities for conceptualizing, practicing, and disclosing one's positionality. Method In a collaborative inquiry informed by autoethnography, we assemble positionality reflections of current engineering education researchers to demonstrate the primary ways in which positionality impacts research. Results We find that positionality impacts six fundamental aspects of research: research topic, epistemology, ontology, methodology, relation to participants, and communication. These aspects of research delve deeper than conceptions of positionality as a methodological limitation, a measure to prevent bias, or a requirement for research quality. Conclusion The impact of positionality on research is complex, particularly when researchers occupy minoritized identities and for research topics that interrogate power relations between identity groups. By demonstrating the practices of interrogating and representing positionality, we hope to encourage more researchers to represent positionality transparently, thus making researchers' transparency safer for all. We argue that positionality is an important tool for reflecting on and dislocating privilege, particularly when working on equity research.

“…A four-factor model was created because of this work, where the relations between hidden curriculum awareness (factor 1), emotions (factor 2), self-efficacy (factor 3), and self-advocacy (factor 4) were explored across ~58 colleges of engineering and 984 engineering faculty and students in the U.S. From the validated instrument (UPHEME; Villanueva et al, 2020), Sellers & Villanueva (2021) analyzed a subset of strategies used by over one hundred and fifty-four BIPOCx individuals in engineering as they coped with the acquired HC. The authors found that advocacies taken by individuals, through self-advocacy (or their willingness to enact advocacy and speak up about a matter to improve their quality of life; Gelles et al, 2019) resulted in three strategies: 1.…”

is the leader of the Engineering Competencies, Learning, and Inclusive Practices for Success (ECLIPS) Lab where he leads a team focused on doing research on contemporary, culturally relevant, and inclusive pedagogical practices, emotions in engineering, competency development, and understanding the experiences of traditionally marginalized engineering students from an asset-based perspective. Homero's goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students, bring into the field, and to train graduate students and faculty members with the tool to promote effective and inclusive learning environments and mentorship practices. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs Teaching Scholar, a Graduate Academy for Teaching Excellence Fellow, a Global Perspectives Fellow, a Diversity Scholar, a Fulbright Scholar, a recipient of the NSF CAREER award, and was inducted into the Bouchet Honor Society. Homero serves as the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Chair for the Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (CDEI), the Program Chair for the ASEE Faculty Development Division, and the Vice Chair for the Research in Engineering Education Network (REEN).

“…Individuals process and respond to HC by recognizing it (awareness), processing it (emotions), deciding what they can do about it (self-efficacy), and acting (selfadvocacy) [2], [4]- [7], [9], [11], [12]. Previous research characterized individuals' responses to HC into three categories: 1) minimal/no action, 2) negotiating self, and 3) changing the environment [2].…”
