Temporal contextuality of agentic intersectional positionalities: nuancing power relations in the ethnography of minority migrant women

Researchers’ reflexivity usually focuses on the spatiality and sociality of their ethnographic fieldwork. As a result, the temporal context of their positionality, whereby their various identities interact with one another at different research phases, is often overlooked.

Through this reflexive exercise, we identify three salient aspects: first, different iden... Mehr ...
