Scenario

When researchers' lived experiences shape their analysis of intersectional issues

My research partner and I are studying workplace discrimination, and we both identify as queer, but I'm also disabled and she's not, and we keep having different interpretations of our data that seem to relate to which forms of oppression we each understand viscerally.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Scholarly objectivity becomes complicated when the subject of study intersects with researchers' own identities and blind spots.
