Reflexivity: Dialogic Dimensions for Individuals and Teams
主讲人：Steve Mann
时间： 5月8日（周三）10:00-11:30
地点：虹口校区1号楼10楼研讨室3
讲座简介
This talk considers different dimensions of reflexivity, concentrating on dialogic processes in qualitative research and analysis. My research has mostly been related to TESOL teacher education and I want to begin with some admittedly ‘personal’ key distinctions, incorporating some contributions made by Julian Edge in his 2011 book.. Drawing on the recently published ‘Reflexivity in Applied Linguistics’ (Consoli and Ganassin, 2023), the talk will clarify key distinctions and argue for a balanced approach to the reflexive enterprise.
The talk will include data from qualitative interviewing (using extracts from my 2016 book ‘The research interview. Reflective practice and reflexivity in research processes’.) Here we will consider how aspects of identity are negotiated and constructed in talk and how this can become an important dimension of reflexive inquiry. In particular, I want to make clear how other’s reflexivity can help you and you students to make sense of your own analytic and reflexive framework. This is one of the reasons why being transparent and being reflexive in your work helps other researchers with their projects.
The talk will also consider how reflexivity in research projects needs to consider ‘team reflexivity’ and move beyond the individual frame, especially in collaborative analytic processes. This will involve opening up both the discourses of reflexivity and its representation within research.
