Reflexivity Practice

Reflexivity, Reflected

read the reflection, not just the researcher

Every excerpt below is a piece of real-style reflexive writing. Your job isn't to agree or disagree with it — it's to diagnose what kind of work it's actually doing: naming a position, tracing how that position shaped a specific decision, or losing the participant altogether.

Context

Is this reflexive writing doing analytic work?

Descriptive — names a position, stops there.  ·  Analytic — traces a specific moment that position shaped a decision.  ·  Over-reflexive — the researcher's inner life crowds out the data.
