Doing Reflexivity: An Introduction

Reflexivity—thinking critically about one’s own position and how it affects one’s research—is vital in any social research project. But there is relatively little advice available about how to achieve it in practice. Doing Reflexivity offers that advice, presenting both a clear argument for the importance of thinking reflexively and a practical guide to actually making it part of research. Built primarily on the contributions and approach of Pierre Bourdieu, it matches academic analysis and practical examples and will be of use to researchers at all stages of their careers.
