Session 3
This workshop explores the dimensions of reflexivity in qualitative and emotionally demanding research contexts. We will unpack different notions of reflexivity, considering how self-reflexive practice can deepen understanding, enhance rigour, and support researchers’ well-being.
At the same time, we’ll discuss some of the challenges and vulnerabilities that reflexivity entails, especially when working with sensitive topics or emotionally charged material.
Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in a few practical exercises designed to foster self-awareness, critical reflection, and care in their own research practice.
