Nathan Stephens - Positionality and reflexivity, and why it’s not just for qualitative research

Nathan Stephens narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

A formality for those working towards a masters or PhD and conducting qualitive research is to acknowledge and articulate their subjectivity and reflexivity. In this post Nathan tries to get his head around these two complex sounding and entangle concepts, and hopefully provide some insight for others who like him, who are currently constructing positionality and reflexivity statements.
