Episode description
Being empathetic towards the communities we research with is what counts most.
As a qualitative researcher, you are often labelled as either an insider or an outsider. In today’s episode I propose to see insider-outsiderness as a spectrum. I elaborate on the importance to walk the fine line between complete involvement and conscious detachment. Identities are fluid, and so are our roles as insiders and outsiders.
