Abstract

In this 40-minute panel, four researchers who study contentious issues will discuss those topics and address how they navigate ideological disagreements with their research participants. Reflexivity and positionality are two analytical tools that are useful in this process of unpacking research. We describe these concepts and position our own research within these spaces.
