What
The chosen article that we will review and discuss is from the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics.
- Promises and perils of positionality statements (2024). DOI:10.1017/S0267190524000035
Positionality statements have increasingly become the norm in many strands of social science research, including applied linguistics. With reference to current research, theory, and the author’s own work, this paper reviews some of the promises and perils of such statements, including their performativity and lack of reflexivity. The author concludes by arguing that positionality statements need to offer both more and less, to be better targeted, and be more effectively and widely utilized within the field of applied linguistics.
Dr Jenni Adams (Open Research Manager) will take us through this paper highlighting some salient points and opening discussion.
