Why is it important?
This research illustrates the criticality of reflexive intersubjectivity in ethnography to positioning the researcher as “Other,” not the research participants. For organizational ethnographers, and qualitative researchers more widely, to recognize this ethical consideration has consequences for how fieldwork is practiced and reported.
Perspectives
This article is important to me. In writing it, I came to better understand my own reflexivities in my research. I hope this work will help you to do the same.
