Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- Within the Field
- “Subjectivity does not disappear in the field; thus, it comes with you.”
- Fredrick is now interviewing a participant. The participant's speech bubbles are emotional and complex. Fredrick’s thought bubbles indicate his trying to comprehend; however, some of his thoughts, like “I would not react that way…”, float nearby.
- Reflexivity in Action
- Slide: 2
- Returningto the laboratory, Fredrick writes in a “Research Journal.” He reflects on howhis own beliefs might shape the way he interprets the participant’s story.Fredrick(writing): “Did my assumptions about family roles color how I understood herstory?”
- This is reflexivity: being aware of and transparent about your subjectivities.
- Slide: 3
- Final Realization
- Fredrick and Professor Onyameye stand together, gazing at a gigantic painting with overlapping perspectives in each corner, each section painted in a distinct style.Professor Onyameye: “Subjectivity does not invalidate your research; however, it gives it depth.”Fredrick: “So, being honest about my perspective helps me interpret and not distort theirtruth?”Professor Onyameye: “Absolutely.”
