Positionality and researcher reflexivity – how to account for
one’s subject position – remain as challenges for new
researchers. But they also remain as challenges for experienced
researchers, who are often involved in multiple research projects
simultaneously. Where Am I in the Picture? sheds light on the idea
of researcher positionality through visual methodologies,
particularly in the context of studying rurality in Canada, Sweden,
and South Africa. The book is intended for new and experienced
researchers seeking to decolonize their own perspectives in
research in the social sciences and humanities. It incorporates
photographs, drawings, and memory work to highlight the social
constructedness of what counts as rural. Drawing together
compelling narratives from researchers about their positionality in
studying rurality, the book highlights a need for greater attention
to "where we are in the picture" more broadly. It suggests that
when it comes to the rural, researchers need to rethink the
interplay of dominant images, insider and outsider perspectives,
and what this interplay means in relation to interpretation. Where
Am I in the Picture? presents a new vision of how to take into
consideration positionality in research.
