Imagine that Jolene grew up on a farm where she and her family grew
soybeans and corn. Now, she is a cultural anthropologist studying how global
economic systems are impacting family farms. By using her own personal
experiences, memories, and emotions as a form of evidence for her
ethnography, Jolene is incorporating into her work
O her positionality, to generate insights into her research.
O her own bias, to incorporate incorrect conclusions into her work.
O reflexivity, to explain her knowledge and biases in her work.
O field notes, to find cultural themes in her research.
