In what ways does your self-understanding and/or how you have been “othered” inform, facilitate, or constrain your subjectivity and/or self-understanding as a student and future researcher?

Critical reflexivity

How do you understand yourself as positioned at the intersections of your social identities, social oppressions and/or social privileges vis-à-vis social class, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, abilities, language, and/or sexualities? How have you experienced yourself to be positioned by others at these intersections? In what ways does your self-understanding and/or how you have been “othered” inform, facilitate, or constrain your subjectivity and/or self-understanding as a student and future researcher?

Why is it important to be critically reflexive as a feminist researcher, and what are some of the potentially problematic or challenging aspects? You must refer to at least two course readings in your reflection.
