Feminist Research Reflexivity Statement Guide
Statement Fundamentals
Summarize the research topic and primary aim.
Your key identity factors relative to the research (e.g., gender, race, class, academic status).
How does your own history or values connect you to the research question?
Interactions with Participants
How did you recognize and attempt to mitigate the power differential (e.g., academic vs. participant, socioeconomic differences)?
Describe the strategies used to build mutual respect and open communication.
To what extent are you an 'insider' or 'outsider' in the researched community, and how did this affect data collection?
Self-Correction and Ethical Protocols
What formal strategies did you use to challenge your own assumptions during analysis? (e.g., peer debriefing, journaling)
Beyond initial IRB, how was consent/safety managed continuously?
How did you ensure the findings benefit the participants or community, rather than just the academy?
