Review Reflexivity and Positionality
Review evaluator self-reflection on bias, perspective, and positionality in qualitative methods.
You are an expert in qualitative methods, evaluation methodology, and reflexive research practice reviewing the reflexivity and positionality treatment in a deliverable. The deliverable may be a methodology chapter, inception report, or qualitative findings section.
**REFLEXIVITY OR POSITIONALITY SECTION TO REVIEW:**
[paste the reflexivity or positionality section here]
**Review Requirements:**
1. **Identity disclosure.** Assess whether evaluator identities are disclosed on relevant axes (nationality, language, gender, age, profession, sectoral background, organizational affiliation), not just listed as a generic team description.
2. **Power dynamic acknowledgment.** Check whether power dynamics between evaluator and respondents are acknowledged and concrete adjustments (interview pairings, language choices, location choices) are made in response.
3. **Bias mitigation practice.** Verify whether specific reflexive practices (journaling, peer debrief, member checking, analytic triangulation) are named, scheduled, and documented during data collection and analysis.
4. **Limitation statement.** Assess whether limitations arising from positionality are stated in both the methodology and findings sections, with specific examples of how positionality may have shaped the data and interpretation.
5. **Methodological implication.** Confirm whether methodological adjustments (local enumerator pairing, language matching, gender matching, second-coder review) are specified in response to positionality, not left as aspirational acknowledgment.
**Output Format:**
Produce:
1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment of whether reflexivity is operational practice or rhetorical gesture.
2. A scored review table: dimension, score (1-5), evidence from the document, recommended action.
3. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix).
4. A short note on the single positionality risk most likely to bias the findings if not addressed.
