Who It’s For: Novice critical qualitative researchers.

Why We Love It: The Social Identity Map fills a gap between novice researchers’ understandings of social identity and positionality and explicit identification and reflection on one’s own social location. This practical tool is something you can integrate into your research journey, illuminating how your personal social identity affects each step in the process, from topic selection through to data analysis and interpretation of findings.
