A first for me today, I offered a walking tour of North Kensington to a group of international housing scholars on the workshop "Epistemes of non-dominant habitation".

Thanks to Paroj Banerjee for the invitation, I had a great time with the group!

🔭 What’s the future of reflexivity & how do we put it into practice? New article in @natrevmethodsprimers.nature.com
I argue for three priorities 1) evaluation criteria 2) studying reflexivity as a socio-cognitive phenomenon 3) adapting it across research traditions
OA: rdcu.be/eX79L
Title: The future of reflexivity in practice: building a collective methodological agenda by Audrey Alejandro -Reflexivity is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of high-quality research, yet methodological guidance on how to do reflexivity in practice remains limited. Drawing on emerging initiatives to operationalize reflexivity, three priorities for advancing a collective agenda are identified — turning reflexivity into a teachable, actionable set of methods.
