Researcher positionality
Ch. 2 of Wellington, Bathmaker, Hunt, McCulloch, and Sikes (2005) According to Sikes and Goodson, 2003, p. 32) It is impossible to take the researcher out of any type of research or of any stage of the research process. The biography of researchers, how and where they are socially positioned, the consequent perspectives they hold and the assumptions which inform the sense they make of the world, have implications for their research interests, how they frame research questions, the paradigms, methodologies and methods they prefer, and the styles that they adopt when writing up their research.
