Abstract
Masters and PhD student researchers in the social sciences are often required to explore and
explain their positionality, as, in the social world, it is recognized that their ontological and
epistemological beliefs influence their research. Yet novice researchers often struggle with
identifying their positionality. This paper explores researcher positionality and its influence on
and place in the research process. Its purpose is to help new postgraduate researchers better
understand positionality so that they may incorporate a reflexive approach to their research and
start to clarify their positionality.
