SUMMARY:Psychosocial Studies: Reading Group: Navigating sameness and difference in research
DESCRIPTION:Association for Psychosocial Studies Online Reading Group \nNavigating sameness and difference in research; a critical discussion on reflexivity \nMichelle Elliot and Lindsey Nicholls  \nFriday 28 October 2022\, 4 – 6pm  \nWe are incredibly happy to invite you to join us for the first APS online reading group of the year! We are starting this academic year with Lindsey Nicholls and Michelle Elliot’s incredibly important work on reflexivity when researching sensitive topics and/or marginalised communities.  \nThe articles are available to download for free here and here \nAbstract: \nIn researching sensitive topics and marginalised communities there has been an increasing pressure for researchers to be the ‘same as’ the participants. This may protect vulnerable communities from objectification and external scrutiny encoded in ‘normative’ views of a society. A researcher who is the ‘same as’ the researched community is considered to have sufficient authenticity and legitimacy to do the research.  \nCritical\, feminist and reflexive approaches to social science research demand consideration of research objectives\, intentions and implications. The tension between advancing understanding of diverse communities and the interpersonal and intrapersonal transitions and the dynamics of the researcher – participant relationship requires an exploration of similarity and difference to ensure an ethically sound research approach.  \nThe presenters will invite discussions on the complexity of establishing authentic and reflexive relationships with the participant communities. The challenges may include exploring/acknowledging unconscious bias and being aware of interpersonal insights and errors that occur in the development\, implementation and learning from the research. \nThe presenters consider if a critical reflexive inquiry can promote a real and reciprocal exchange between researcher and participants. The presenters suggest that overly simplistic ‘identification with’ participants can avoid the painful realities of difference that are important to explore and understand. The intersubjective space can be explored through acknowledgement of sameness and difference\, in privilege\, power and/or the sense of subjugation. \n\nHow can researchers critically reflect on their intentions (conscious and unconscious) for doing the research?\nHow does intersubjectivity lend itself to understanding research into the human condition?\n\nAll registered attendees should automatically be sent a Zoom link. The link will be re-sent the day of the event.  \nAuthor biographies: \nDr Michelle Elliot (she/her) is a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Occupational Therapy and Arts Therapies at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh. Themes of criticality\, reflexivity and narrative are explored across her teaching and scholarship. \nDr Lindsey Nicholls has a senior academic post at University of Essex. Her doctoral work explored a psychoanalytic understanding of care through the lived experiences of therapists and their clients. She has published work on the use of psychoanalytic theory in research methods (reflexivity) and co-authored a book on psychoanalytic thinking in occupational therapy.
