Abstract

In this presentation, I explore the question of researcher positionality when working with participants. The talk draws on my interdisciplinary research on identity; moving away from the insider/outsider paradigm, I draws on the theory of positioning (Davies & Harré 1990; Harré & van Langenhove 1991) to examine how my work with Polish migrant teenagers highlights the disconnect between the way a researcher positions herself and how she is positioned by participants. Arguing that this conflict informs and enhances the research, I also problematise the extent to which a researcher is ethically obligated to discuss their own positionality with participants.
