标题：Reflexive Accounts: An Intersectional Approach to Exploring the Fluidity of Insider/Outsider Status and the Researcher’s Impact on Culturally Sensitive Post-Positivist Qualitative Research
摘要：To achieve our goal, we explore the literature on reflexivity in research. We then explain and problematize the dichotomy of insider/outsider status. To support our argument that insider/outsider status is not merely a dichotomy, we present an intersectional approach to address the complex nature of identities. We extend this methodological discussion by examining the fluidity of intersecting identities and the result-ing researcher identities, namely insider/out-sider status, within a qualitative study of a cul-turally and religiously sensitive topic. More specifically, we use an intersectional approach to examine our personal reflections on being insiders and outsiders simultaneously. We do so by drawing on and describing our experi-ences conducting interviews on the sensitive is-sue of sexual intimacy with second generation South Asian youth. Overall, this paper sheds light on the role of having multiple intersecting and inseparable identities in being an insider/outsider and how being an insider/outsider is neither a binary nor static status, but rather is constantly changing and negotiated depending on who is being interviewed
