Where diversity grows: Reflections on translocational positionality and identity, difference, and belonging

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Researchers have increasingly understood their positionality should be actively considered. However, these considerations usually focus on select characteristics, treat “identity” as a fixed construct, and are limited to discussions of research methodology. Returning to fieldnotes from one community that has long exemplified the phenomenon of new‐destination immigration, this reflection is an exercise of rethinking my own positionality in translocational terms where context, meaning, and time were related influences on my identification with‐ and in‐place.
