A Roundtable Conversation on the Dynamics of Reflexivity, Stability, and Change

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

This panel examines the potentialities for reflexivity in different domains: from its role as methodology and positionality to its role in the social construction of public policy, environmentalism, and addiction discourses. Using a World Café model, faculty members from five academic settings and five students from a reflexivity seminar will engage as respondents/collaborators in the research process together with members of the audience as we explore the social constructions of our ‘research’ and ‘researcher’ worlds.
