Exploring Reflexivity in Sociological Research: A Study of Self and Social Structures

This study by Tamlyn Ryan, a PhD candidate at the University of York, delves into the importance of reflexivity in sociological research. It questions how personal experiences and identity impact scholarly work and challenges researchers to confront their biases and experiences. Guided by Professor Charles Emmons, the research emphasizes that sociological understanding cannot be distanced from the researcher’s own context. The analysis is aimed at understanding the intricate relationship between knowledge production and social structures, highlighting the necessity to consider the researcher’s self in the process.
