Scenario

When research partners have different relationships to the communities they study

My research partner and I are both studying South Asian gender diversity but they're cisgender and I'm hijra, and we keep running into situations where our different positions affect how we approach the work and what conclusions we draw.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collaborators discover that insider versus outsider perspectives create methodological and ethical tensions they haven't addressed.
