Reflexivity is valuable in social research because it draws
attention to the researcher as part of the world being studied and
reminds us that the individuals involved in our research are
subjects, not objects. By being reflexive we acknowledge that we
cannot be separated from our biographies. This volume reviews key
debates concerning reflexivity in theory, methods, and practice. It
mounts a defence of reflexivity against new materialist and
post-qualitative critiques and the pressures exerted on scholars
from the neoliberal marketized university system which privileges
fast academia at the expense of slow, reflective scholarship. While
defending reflexivity, this book also those identifies issues which
plague mainstream sociological operationalizations of a
positivistic form of reflexivity. It argues for the extension of
reflexivity into domains otherwise neglected in public accounts,
and a shift from reflexivity as an individualized quality of the
researcher (used to judge peers and navel-gaze) to a feminist,
collaborative, reflexive sensibility which is mindful of the wider
contexts shaping the construction of knowledge(s), experience(s),
and of the role of research communities. Providing examples of
reflexivity in action from academics at different stages of their
careers, Reflexivity will appeal to students and researchers
interested in fields such as Sociology, Qualitative Research
Methods, Criminology, Ethnography, and Ethics of Research.
